EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Young Kim wrote a letter on Wednesday accusing the State Department of stonewalling Congress when it comes to information regarding the United States's recent engagements and relationship with China. This comes days before Secretary of State Antony Blinken travels to Beijing, which is scheduled to take place between June 16 and 21.
Other signatories of the letter are Reps. Ann Wagner , Ken Buck , Mark Green , and Andy Barr . Amata Coleman Radewagen, a delegate for American Samoa, also signed the letter. Each member also serves on the Indo-Pacific subcommittee. On June 12, Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Kritenbrink abruptly canceled a scheduled appearance at a Wednesday House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Indo-Pacific hearing focused on the department's budget for East Asia and the Pacific. He cited his upcoming travel to Beijing as the reason.
"The State Department’s recent engagement with Beijing and refusal to comply with Congressional oversight only warrants questions about their strategy to assert U.S. leadership against the Chinese Communist Party,” she added.
