And while House Democrats can pass their version without Republican support if nearly all of them vote in favor, there is no guarantee that their bill would reach the 60 votes necessary to pass the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Further, any House-passed bill would likely head to a conference, where House and Senate leaders would privately meet in an attempt to work out their differences and compromise on a bill that can pass both chambers. Not only would that process require additional time, but Senate Republicans would have great leverage given the chamber\u2019s 60-vote threshold. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/27\/senate-fails-china-us-digital-infrastructure-chuck-schumer-todd-young\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Bipartisan China Competitive Bill Moves Forward After Hours-Long Talks Secure GOP Support)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a memo from the Republican Study Committee released Monday and obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Chairman Jim Banks said the bill, titled the \u201cAmerica COMPETES Act,\u201d should instead be called the \u201cAmerica CONCEDES Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe provisions tucked into this bill are so harmful to the United States or leave us so vulnerable to China\u2019s malign activity,\u201d Banks said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7362720\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7362720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has touted her party\u2019s bill to combat China, but its departure from the Senate-passed version could delay its becoming law.
