US: Dow Jones notes that "the House passed a broad, $1.5 trillion effort to
rebuild the nation's roads, railways and schools, as Democrats pursued their own
infrastructure legislation without the bipartisan deal discussed for years
during the Trump administration. Almost 40 House Democrats joined with House
Republicans to approve a last-minute amendment to the legislation on the floor.
The change aims to bar the government from using funds in the bill to enter into
contracts with Chinese state-owned companies or Chinese companies that construct
facilities for interning Uighurs in western China... Republicans oppose the
legislation, which also includes a host of measures aimed at fighting climate
change, and the White House has said President Trump would veto it if it came to
his desk."
