Congressman Biggs joined 178 fellow Republicans to vote against this bill and offered the following statement:\n\n\"Unfortunately, this was another missed opportunity to work together to pass a bipartisan bill that benefits all Americans. I could not support a bill to grant a taxpayer-funded agency the authority to fast-track key economic decisions without appropriate oversight, favor some businesses over others for arbitrary political reasons, or provide taxpayer-backed financing to entities owned and controlled by the Chinese government, including enterprises involved in military activities and human rights abuses.
