WASHINGTON—Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is in only his second year as a U.S. senator and, at 40, he is the youngest member of “the world’s greatest deliberative body,” but none of that keeps him from having a high profile in Washington—and in Beijing.
The latest illustration of Hawley’s impact is a tweet he circulated March 18 calling for “a full, international investigation of #China Communist Party’s actions that helped turn #coronavirus #COVID19 into a global pandemic — and #China needs to be prepared to pay other countries for the havoc the CCP has unleashed.”
