U.S. senators have introduced the "Strategic Competition Act of 2021," which aims to give the U.S. more power to push back against China's global influence.

The measure would boost U.S. initiatives: promoting human rights, providing security aid and investing in the fight against misinformation.

The bill aims to combat economic competition with China, as well as humanitarian causes.
