Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China and Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) discussed their Connected Vehicle Security Act at a public event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. The legislation would protect American drivers from predatory automotive technologies owned by China that imperil our national security and economy.
"Our government exists to secure our rights - it's the other way around in China....Think of the sensors, think of the cameras, the microphones, all of that is collecting data," said Moolenaar. "These vehicles are rolling data collection devices."

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House Select Committee on China is alerting the public to an ongoing series of highly targeted cyber-espionage campaigns that we have concluded are linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
