Tweets may be coordinated given the proximity and unity of message.
I appreciate @GOPLeader asking me to serve on the China Task Force. The China threat, both economically & militarily, is the greatest existential threat the USA faces today. Shouldn’t be a partisan issue but sadly Dems are unwilling to join us in addressing it. #chinataskforce
Josh Rogin @joshrogin
Our country has neglected the warning signs from the Chinese Communist Party for far too long. So I am forming the China Task Force, led by @RepMcCaul.
Democrats were set to join but bailed with no explanation. Our country simply cannot wait any longer.
I applaud @GOPLeader for creating the China Task Force & I am confident that my fellow Texan @RepMcCaul will hold Communist China accountable for their COVID-19 coverup.
The list of wrongdoings committed by the #CCP is extensive, but one thing is clear, they lied & people died.
Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader
It’s an honor to be selected by @GOPLeader to serve on the China Task Force. This task force was created to counter current & future threats posed by China.
Pelosi refuses to take action against China, our task force will firmly hold the CCP accountable.
We will never let the CCP determine what kind of future we will live in. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the China Task Force to protect America's national security. cheney.house.gov/2020/05/07/che…
I am proud to have been named a Co-Chair of the China Task Force pillars on National Security and Technology. I look forward to working with my colleagues to address our greatest challenges and address Chinese Communist Party malfeasance.
House Foreign Affairs GOP @HouseForeignGOP
Today, I was named co-chair of the House #China Task Force’s competitiveness & ideological competition committees.
Looking forward to working on these issues to ensure we hold China accountable and protect our American way of life.
Last week I was named Co-Chair of the China Task Force subgroup on Economics and Energy as well as the subgroup on Competitiveness. As I said in my interview with @NRO , “It never has been free trade, or free exchange, or free markets with China.”
Americans deserve answers to questions about the origins of this pandemic which is why I am grateful to have been appointed to the China Task Force to investigate China’s handling of COVID-19. China’s has destroyed lives & they must be held accountable.
Nancy Pelosi thinks the China Task Force is a "diversion". Protecting American jobs and energy independence is NOT a diversion 👇

As Chairman of the China Task Force, I welcome Democrats to join Republicans as we hold the CCP accountable & defend the US from the communist regime's malign agenda. Unfortunately, for now, Democrats have chosen not to participate. That's a disservice to the American people.
I was appointed to the House China Task Force to investigate China’s role in COVID-19. This is a matter of national security but Dems are politicizing it. I need you to chip in to my campaign today so I can continue the fight to protect American citizens. secure.winred.com/andybarrforcon…
What we need is a real effort to hold China accountable. Democrats walked away from forming a bipartisan China Task Force – instead they’re bullying American companies for using PPP loans to save thousands of American jobs.
I want to thank House Minority Leader @kevinomccarthy for launching the China Task Force.
China has always been a threat to our nation, but COVID-19 proves we can no longer sit idly by.
This task force will take the crucial steps needed to address all threats posed by China!
18 @RepublicanAGs sent a letter to the China Task Force led by @RepMcCaul asking for an investigation into China's coronavirus cover-up.
The AGs are determined to work with Hill leadership to hold the communist state accountable for deliberately deceiving the world. #COVID19
Gave a summary of the scope of the new China Task Force and what Congress can do to hold #China accountable for the current pandemic on my interview with @LarsLarsonShow this week. Always a pleasure, sir!
China has lied about #COVID_19 and abused human rights. I am part of the China Task Force that will investigate them. I am excited to work with @POTUS to hold Communist China accountable for their dangerous actions. Read more here:
Proud to see my endorser @RepGallagher appointed to the #China Task Force. This was supposed to be a bi-partisan panel to investigate 🇨🇳 influence activities, IP theft, & control of crucial supply chains but @SpeakerPelosi backed out. 🤔 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Very disappointed w/ former #CCP skeptic,@SpeakerPelosi for bailing on the House China Task Force. The China threat is too high-stakes. We MUST work together to confront it. @tonykatz

I'm honored to be chairing the new China Task Force.
We will hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its cover-up of the coronavirus and advance comprehensive plans to address the CCP as a strategic adversary.
Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said if Democrats don't join in the China task force effort, Republicans will push forward without bipartisan support.
“If they will not, we will go alone,” he said.
China has acted as a rogue nation for far too long. I’m proud to be appointed to the House GOP China Task Force. We will hold China accountable and bring our critical supply chains home.
Democratic Party Tweet (May 7, 2020)
Instead of a GOP partisan task force designed to divert attention from President Trump’s coronavirus response failures, @GOPLeader McCarthy could get serious about holding the Chinese government accountable by supporting bipartisan initiatives.

.@GOPLeader: "Today I'm announcing the Republican-led China Task Force, and I invite the Democrats to join with us."
House Republicans announce new China task force that will work to develop legislative policies to curtail Chinese influence.
The committee of 15 Republicans was originally supposed to include Democrats, but the party reportedly withdrew in February.
A congressional #China task force lost its Democratic members earlier this year. But the GOP is sticking with the House China task force.
@RepMcCaul joined me & @marcthiessen to discuss Congress’s approach toward Beijing in the wake of #coronavirus.
New: I spoke to members of the House GOP’s China Task Force in a deep-dive for @NRO.
The verdict? They all agree coronavirus is just the tip of the iceberg — “I think we are in a new Cold War.”
NEW: Rep. Michael McCaul (@RepMcCaul) explained his new position as chairman of the China Task Force committee which will investigate coronavirus mishandling, in an exclusive interview with the @DailyCaller. Watch it here:
Exclusive — Kevin McCarthy on House’s China Task Force: China Wants to ‘Defeat America,’ USA Must Be United in Response
BREAKING: The chairman of the House's China task force says,
China & the World Health Organization broke international law during the coronavirus outbreak...
They MUST be held responsible!
McCarthy says Dems were on board w/ China Task Force months ago, but backed out. Says he invites Dems to help now-Meanwhile House Intel Committee Chairman @RepAdamSchiff says Dems have been doing this same work on China before #Coronavirus for more than a yr. already #NexstarDC
Not great headlines for @RepMcCaul, chair of the China Task Force, who disclosed family holdings in a Chinese company McCaul has called a threat to our security. #TX10 politico.com/news/2020/05/0…
McCaul characterized Tencent as a national security threat and “an integral part of the Chinese Communist Party’s industrial policies” as recently as November 2019, just three months before the new purchase of shares in the company.
In an op-ed for Government Executive published on November 18, McCaul criticized the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board’s decision to use the MSCI All Country World ex.-U.S. Investable Market Index (IMI) for its International Fund, noting that the index includes “Chinese companies that threaten America’s economic and national security.”
“For instance, Tencent Holdings, an integral part of the Chinese Communist Party’s industrial policies and one of four national champions for artificial intelligence, accounts for a significant number of shares in the IMI,” he wrote. “Tencent is also heavily involved in the development of the social credit system, a dystopian system China has implemented to score its citizens’ behavior.”
McCaul has also called for an investigation into whether the government withheld information about the coronavirus outbreak from the world. Last month, he characterized China and the World Health Organization as “co-conspirators” in a coverup and called on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to probe the Chinese Communist Party’s “various lies” and “disinformation campaign.”
“There is a case to be made here that this is the worst cover-up in human history,” McCaul told Fox News on April 10. “This is a cover-up by the Chinese Communist Party, which has now led to one of the worst pandemics we’ve ever seen.”
