The House China task force warned about U.S. “strategic competition” with China in the “ideological domain” in a newly released report, issuing dozens of recommendations to confront China’s activities on the world stage.

“Nowhere is the U.S. strategic competition with the CCP starker than in the ideological domain. CCP leaders themselves believe the Party stands existentially threatened by ‘false ideological trends’ arising from constitutional democracy, universal values, civil society, free markets, independent journalism, dissidents, and even the Party’s own checkered history. This is a lesson that CCP General Secretary Xi [Jinping] has taken directly from the collapse of the USSR, which he attributes to its lack of ideological vigor,” the 141-page GOP report said.
