> Well congress approved 500 million for negative coverage of China.

Can I get a pointer to this?

I just looked this up myself. It was proposed as part of last year's COMPETES act:

I only found articles on this from when the act was still moving through congress. But the act was passed, so I assume this part did as well.

It feels nefarious to me how acts and budgets in the US can bundle things like this.
