WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) released the following statement on the newly announced rule by the Treasury Department on which electric vehicles qualify for tax credits.

“President Biden’s new rules will allow Chinese automakers to pocket the hard-earned money of American taxpayers. Even worse, they will further enable the CCP’s weaponization of critical supply chains, like graphite, which the CCP export-controlled last October. Instead of promoting U.S. supply chains or collective resilience with our allies and partners, this rule deepens our dangerous reliance on the PRC. The Biden administration should reverse course, ban China-based and CCP-affiliated companies from receiving taxpayer dollars, and incentivize American innovation in the auto industry.”

WASHINGTON D.C. — Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and Congressman Greg Murphy M.D. (R-NC) sent sent a letter urging United States Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen to include U.S. Coast Guard facilities and other sensitive sites under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The letter also asks the Secretary to hold CFIUS reviews retroactively when a site is newly added to CFIUS’s list of sensitive sites. As our adversaries encroach on U.S. territory and Chinese Communist Party-affiliated land purchases increase across the United States, the lawmakers stress the importance of protecting Coast Guard bases just as we protect military bases in the CFIUS process.

Dan Newhouse (R-WA) to prevent the CCP from purchasing land adjacent to federally owned land.

We need to protect our farmland and ensure our largest adversary cannot own land near sensitive U.S. military bases. Thank-you to Congressman Newhouse for his leadership on this issue and the work he has done to introduce this legislation."

October 23, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar today released the statement below following reports that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC)-manufactured chips have fueled Huawei artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators, in a major circumvention of US export controls.

“Reports that cutting-edge TSMC-manufactured chips have contributed to Huawei’s AI development represent a catastrophic failure of US export control policy. AI accelerators, like the one that these chips fueled, are at the forefront of our technology race with the CCP, and I fear the damage done here will have significant consequences for our national security. Congress needs immediate answers from both BIS and TSMC about the scope and volume of this disaster. The U.S. government must take immediate steps to ensure this does not happen again.”
