A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is heading to California this week to meet with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Disney CEO Bob Iger, and other power brokers in Hollywood and Silicon Valley to talk about China.
All 10 lawmakers going on the three-day trip serve on the House select committee investigating the Chinese Communist Party, which is led by Rep. Mike Gallagher , the trip's leader. The delegation has a packed schedule of private meetings with top tech and media industry figures from Wednesday through Friday.
On Thursday, the delegation will head to Silicon Valley for meetings with Microsoft President Brad Smith and Kent Walker, Alphabet's president of global affairs and chief legal officer. They'll also meet with executives from Palantir and Scale AI. "This can't all be defensive," the source said."We also need to be thinking about offensive and how do we out-compete."
