Washington/New York | Top Republican lawmakers have called for McKinsey to be banned from securing federal contracts in the US following the revelation that a think tank led by the consulting firm gave policy recommendations to the Chinese government.

Marco Rubio, the vice chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, and Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, said McKinsey had undermined US security through the think tank’s role in the development of Beijing’s 13th five-year plan in 2015.
