Congressman Ro Khanna, representative of California’s 17th congressional district, made stops throughout North Carolina this week to meet with workers, local leaders, and manufacturers to examine how America can better compete with China. On Thursday he stopped at Meridian Specialty Yarn Group in Valdese to tour the facility. Khanna, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said one of the ideas to compete with China is pushing to expand the Berry Amendment. The Berry Amendment calls for the Department of Defense to give preference to domestically created products. Khanna (right) listens as Meridian’s John Marlowe explains how the textile company has adapted to changing technology and processes in the industry.
