Democratic and Republican lawmakers will next week introduce legislation to spur the White House to funnel more money to the Indo-Pacific region to help counter China.
Ami Bera, the Democratic chair of the House foreign affairs Asia subcommittee, and Steve Chabot, the top Republican on the panel, hope their Indo-Pacific Engagement Act will narrow the gap between the rhetoric about Asia being a priority region and funding levels.

It also means we have a duty to talk with our patients about their options and to make sure they're fully informed partners in their own care. That's why, as both a doctor and a member of the U.S. Congress, I'm so deeply disturbed by a 38-year-old American policy known as the global gag rule.
