    A sprawling $US250 billion ($324 billion) -plus suite of legislation aimed squarely at enhancing America’s ability to compete with China, along with a grab bag of other anti-China measures, is winding its way through the US Congress.

    The bill, which started life as a $US100 billion, 150-page proposal labelled the “Endless Frontier Act” has grown to more than 2000 pages and been re-labelled the “United States Innovation and Competition Act” as at least six different proposals targeting China have been combined in negotiations in the US Senate.

    The senators keep adding new sections targeting everything from crackdowns on international technology transfers to advocating a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
