Rep. Ro Khanna plans to push Apple CEO Tim Cook in a meeting to pull manufacturing jobs to America.
Mr. Khanna, California Democrat, is part of a small group of lawmakers headed to the Golden State on Wednesday for meetings with entertainment industry leaders in Hollywood. House Select Committee on China Chairman Mike Gallagher, Wisconsin Republican, is directing the effort and will guide the lawmakers to Silicon Valley later this week, including to a meeting with Mr. Cook on Friday.
Mr. Khanna said a lot of the technology was invented in the U.S., but America has watched as production moved offshore. Alongside the meetings with Mr. Iger on Wednesday, the lawmakers are set to meet with screenwriters, producers and studio leaders. The lawmakers are holding the meetings in private to give Hollywood’s entertainment industry a forum to candidly answer questions about censorship and concessions made to China without fear of retribution from the country’s communist government, according to a source familiar with the China committee’s plans.
