A top GOP lawmaker tapped to lead a House panel scrutinizing China disclosed his family’s investment in a major Chinese tech company linked to surveillance and censorship, according to a congressional form filed in his name.
A periodic transaction report filed on April 20 in the name of Rep. Michael McCaul, who represents Texas’ 10th district and serves as ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, lists the purchase of $50,000-$100,000 worth of shares in Chinese tech behemoth Tencent Holdings in late February.
