Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar and Ranking Member Ro Khanna released a new investigation exposing a vast, China-linked scam center network that has defrauded Americans of at least $10 billion annually while fueling human trafficking, cybercrime, and illicit finance.

The Select Committee found that the scam centers concentrated in southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia and Burma, are part of a distributed criminal ecosystem linking cyber fraud, human trafficking, and money laundering.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China released a new report examining NASA’s research security compliance and its enforcement of the Wolf Amendment, which prohibits NASA-funded bilateral research and activities with China without specific authorization from Congress and the FBI. 

The Select Committee on China released a new investigation, Buy What It Can, Steal What It Must: China's Campaign to Acquire Frontier AI Capabilities, detailing how China uses legal and illegal means to build its own semiconductor production and the development of artificial intelligence.

During the investigation, the committee found that China:

Remains the largest market for chipmaking equipment despite restrictions.

The investigation reveals how China acquires oil from countries sanctioned by the United States. It uses a shadow fleet of thousands of largely aging tankers operating under foreign flags owned through opaque corporate to continue acquiring oil from sanctioned exporters. Using ship-to-ship transfers off the coast of Malaysia, sanctioned crude is disguised by reissued certificates of origin, bills of lading, and cargo manifests that erase its sanctioned provenance.

The investigation finds that China uses monetary contributions, critical UN posts, and strategically deployed troops within UN peacekeeping forces to expand its authoritarian reach.

The Select Committee on China released a new investigation uncovering how China is using infrastructure in Latin America to advance its space capabilities and intelligence collection.

The investigation details how China uses the fleet to extend state power beyond its borders: leveraging fishing access for diplomatic purposes, subordinating civilian vessels to military command, and deploying the fleet for intelligence collection. The military integration is explicit in the seas closest to China, where it maintains a state-directed maritime militia drawn from fishing vessels.

The report builds on the Select Committee’s original bipartisan Ten for Taiwan report, which concluded that central to the Committee’s mandate is deterring CCP military aggression against Taiwan. Since that report’s publication, developments instigated by the CCP have increased the risk of conflict over Taiwan, underscoring the need to deepen U.S.–Taiwan economic, defense, and political cooperation to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
