Two U.S. senators are pushing for greater scrutiny of U.S. companies looking to offshore critical capabilities to foreign adversaries, such as China, in a bid to protect the U.S. supply chain.
The pandemic’s sharp disruption to global supply chains has underscored the need for the United States to reduce its reliance on foreign competitors on critical supplies ranging from health equipment to natural resources, according to Sens. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), who earlier in 2021 introduced legislation aimed at addressing this issue.
