We analyzed open-source documents from the US Congress and discovered 1,374 China-related bills introduced in just one year. Three numbers stand out—82%, 1.5%, and 28,807.
- 82%: Halfway through the 118th Congress, lawmakers have already produced 82% as many China-related bills as were produced during the entire 117th Congress.
- 1.5%: A mere 1.5% of those bills became law, revealing that much of the legislation serves as political theater with little real impact.
- 28,807: Western media has churned out 28,807 reports on this issue, intensifying the "China threat" narrative.
From Marco Rubio to Rick Scott, US congressmen have targeted everything from Huawei to Chinese garlic, systematically pushing the "China threat" agenda.
