Communist China is seeking to replace the United States as the world’s economic and technological leader, according to one Congresswoman.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was aiming to undermine and eventually displace the United States as a world power, during a Feb. 1 hearing of the Innovation, Data, and Commerce subcommittee on U.S.-China competition.
