At a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Republicans criticized cabinet officials over the administration's budget request to enhance U.S. security measures and the nation's ability to compete with China. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo were in attendance, demonstrating the importance of China Policy for the White House. The proposed budget is 3.2% more than the one made last year and approximately 13% higher than the year before that. Republicans criticized the president's weak approach to China. If passed, the proposed budget would provide resources that are "critical for national security."
