共和党参议员皮特·瑞克茨（R-Neb.）及埃里克·施密特（R-Mo.）在周三分别推动了一系列旨在全方位遏制中国共产党对西方影响的措施。这些提案涵盖了不同方面，主要针对中国与美国的教育领域和农业产业相关活动。
瑞克茨认为：“中国共产党是对美国国家安全与财务独立构成的最大威胁。在全球被中国共产党领导的世界中，我们将会面临压迫而非自由选择、暴政而非自由、独裁而非民主的局面。对抗这一威胁唯一的办法是采取一个强有力的全面策略性国家行动方案。这些提案使我们的应对措施更趋完善。”
施密特提出的法案旨在禁止与中国共产党及其亲属相关的实体获得美国大学的入学签证。
这两项举措正值共和党持续关注中国共产党的影响与美国当前面临的脆弱性问题。根据今年早些时候皮尤研究中心的一项调查，美国人对他们的警戒声给予了支持，大约一半的人认为限制中国的影响力和力量应是美国外交政策的首要任务；另有42%认为应当给予一定的优先级。
这显示出共和党提出的法案响应了当前公众对中国共产党的担忧以及增强国家安全与独立的呼声。

原文摘要：
FIRST ON FOX: Republican senators introduced a series of measures on Wednesday aimed at taking a comprehensive approach to curbing the Chinese Communist Party's influence in the west. Sens. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., led the introduction of several pieces of legislation in the Senate, all focused on targeting different aspects of China's involvement in America, including at universities and in the U.S. agricultural sector. "The CCP is the single greatest threat to America’s national security and financial independence," Ricketts told Fox News Digital in a statement. "A CCP-led world would mean coercion instead of choice, tyranny instead of liberty, and dictatorship instead of democracy. The only way to combat this threat is with a strong, strategic, all-of-government approach. These bills move us closer to that." JOE MANCHIN SAYS HE WON'T ENDORSE HARRIS OVER SUPPORT FOR ELIMINATING FILIBUSTER The Nebraska Republican introduced five bills: to protect domestic food supply chains; to disincentivize university endowments from investing in "adversarial entities"; to prevent tax breaks for investing in Chinese, Russian, Iranian, North Korean, or Belarussian companies; to stop U.S. market participation and ownership in businesses that are sanctioned for human rights violations; and to prohibit index funds from purchasing Chinese stocks. DEMS LOOK TO FORCE VOTES ON EMERGENCY ABORTION AS ABORTION PILL DEATHS MAKE HEADLINES Schmitt also introduced a measure that would bar members of the CCP and their relatives from obtaining student visas to attend American universities. "The Chinese Communist Party remains our most significant adversary, both militarily and economically. It makes no sense for American universities to continue educating the children and other family members of CCP officials. These more than 100,000 admission slots should go to American students," Schmitt told Fox News Digital in a statement. JOHN CORNYN FLEXES FUNDRAISING CHOPS AS BATTLE TO SUCCEED MITCH MCCONNELL RAMPS UP "If you are associated with a foreign organization that is actively working to undermine the United States, you should certainly not have the continued privilege of being educated on our college campuses. The Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act fortunately puts an end to these special privileges." ENIGMATIC VOTER GROUP COULD SPLIT TICKET FOR TRUMP, DEM SENATE CANDIDATE IN ARIZONA CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The senators' legislation comes as Republicans continue to sound the alarm over CCP influence and current U.S. vulnerabilities. Americans increasingly agree with their warnings, with about half saying that limiting both China’s power and influence should be a top priority for the U.S. when it comes to foreign policy. Another 42% believe it should be given some priority, according to a Pew Research Center survey earlier this year.
