The House Select Committee on China was recently formed to investigate the Chinese government's human rights abuses and its influence on the U.S. economy. During a discussion on CBS's "Face the Nation", Republican Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas questioned the loyalty of Democratic Rep. Judy Chu due to her Chinese heritage. Both Republican and Democratic leaders of the panel condemned Gooden's comments, emphasizing the importance of respecting the diversity of backgrounds and experiences in the United States.
