GOP Threatens Subpoena for Blinken's China Trip.

Republicans criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken for visiting China for diplomatic talks, accusing him of undermining national security by attempting to normalize relations with Beijing. Representative Michael McCaul threatened to subpoena Blinken if he failed to produce documents detailing the list of retaliatory actions the US government has considered against China. The clash reflects two divergent approaches to dealing with a rising China, with Republicans advocating for a hard-line, military-first approach and Democrats arguing that engagement is crucial.
