By Brad Pareso 

U.S. Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Comcast Corp NBCUniversal executives on Tuesday raising concerns, asking “about the level of influence the Chinese Communist Party and the International Olympic Committee has in NBC’s 2022 Winter Olympics programming.” (Reuters)

They are asking the company to respond to a series of questions by Feb. 7, including whether NBCUniversal has any investment in the Peoples Republic of China, and whether either the CCP or the IOC has taken any step to influence the company’s coverage of the games themselves or the Chinese government and the Olympic committee.
