An Illinois Congressman was appointed to the U.S. House China Task Force.

Rep. Darin LaHood indicates the task force was assembled a few weeks ago and will address how to respond to China in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The task force will be asked to look into toughening the U.S.'s policies towards China in a bipartisan way. LaHood notes the U.S.'s relationship with China is complicated because the U.S. relies on China as a trade partner.

Rep. LaHood believes the task force is something all Americans can get behind. He also believes they need to balance the economic market of China while also holding them accountable.
