The House select committee on China came out with guns blazing in its first hearing on Tuesday, arguing that the Chinese Communist Party should not be trusted or treated with kid gloves as it seeks to undermine the U.S. We may call this a strategic competition, but it s not a polite tennis match, Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher, the committee s Republican c adidas originals forum hairman, said in a hearing that stuck to a bipartisan tone the leaders had promised. This is an existential struggle over what life will look like in the 21st century mdash; and the most fundamental freedoms are at stake. Former President Donald Trump s national security adviser H.R. McMaster testified that China pos yeezy foam es a greater threat to freedom than the Soviet Union ever did because it is more intertwined in the global eco adidas samba nomy. Just the scale of what they re doing from an economic perspective and from an espionage perspective, I think is unprecedented, McMaster said. We never gave the Soviet Union the kind of access that we gave to Chinese Communist Party operatives, members of the party, again, based on hellip; this fundamentally flawed assumption that China, having been welcomed into the international order, would play by the rules and as China prospered it would liberalize its economy, and liberalize its form of governance.

ISLAMABAD -- The celebration of the birth of a grandson qui nike dunk ckly turned into a tragedy for Umar Hayat, a resident of Layyah in Pakistan s sprawling Punjab province.Ten people, mostly relatives, died and others were sickened after consuming a baked treat he had purchased and handed out to mark the occasion.Hayat bought treats from a local sweetshop on April 17 to distribute among friends and family at a gathering in his home. But celebrations turned to pandemonium as the people who ate the sweets quickly fell ill.Five people lost their lives on the spot, according to local news reports, and by that evening 10 had died. Dozens more were admitted to various hospitals in the region.According to local police officials, the death toll from the tainted confectionary had risen to at least 23 on Monday, with another 52 victims still undergoing hospital treatment for poisoning. Some reports suggested as many as 25 were dead. Among the dead were the newborn boy s father and seven of his uncles.Police have raided and sealed th adidas samba damen e sweetshop where the deadly confectionery was bought and have arrested two owners and an employee.The investigation thus far points toward an employee inadvertently adding agricultural pesticide -- which wa adidas yeezy s allegedly being stored against regulations at the bakery -- to the sweet mix, however no conclusive statements by officials handling the case have been provided.Filed by CBS News Maria Usman in Islamabad.
