威斯康星州共和党人迈克-加拉格尔被任命为两党委员会的主席，其他12名共和党人和10名民主党人。国会议员拉贾-克里希纳莫提（Raja Krishnamoorthi）将领导民主党方面的工作，4名亚裔成员也被列入其中。加拉格尔明确指出，他的首要任务是防止在台湾问题上发生第三次世界大战，并确定长期投资以帮助赢得与共产主义中国的新冷战。
-
该委员会的工作可能集中在六个领域，包括好莱坞为安抚中共而重塑产出。加拉格尔特别提到了华特迪士尼公司，表示迪士尼首席执行官鲍勃-艾格可能被传唤为证人。该委员会可能会产生商业影响，为遵守中国审查机构的规定创造市场抑制因素。

民主党人提出的主要关切是，该委员会不应加剧对亚裔美国人的仇外心理。加拉格尔表示，他的任务是在美国人民面前提出自我审查的问题。如果两党关系能够保持下去，该委员会的工作可能对美中关系产生重大影响。

This select committee is different from standing committees as it lacks authority to take legislative action and instead is created to conduct investigations into a specific topic. It will hold televised hearings and summon witnesses.
-
Wisconsin Republican Mike Gallagher has been appointed to chair a bipartisan committee, with 12 other Republicans and 10 Democrats. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi will lead the Democratic side, and 4 members of Asian descent have been included. Gallagher has specified his top priorities as preventing World War III over Taiwan and identifying long-term investments to help win a new Cold War with Communist China.
-
The committee’s work is likely to focus on six areas, including Hollywood’s reshaping of output to appease the Chinese Communist Party. Gallagher has called out The Walt Disney Co. in particular, indicating that Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger could be called as a witness. The committee could have commercial repercussions, creating a market disincentive for compliance with Chinese censors.
-
The main concern raised by Democrats is that the committee should not exacerbate xenophobia towards Asian Americans. Gallagher has said his mission is to raise the issue of self-censorship in front of the American people. If bipartisanship can be maintained, the committee’s work could have significant implications for the US-China relationship.
