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.
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party will be the featured speaker at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation's event "Can China Innovate in Advanced Industries?" on September 18th at 9:00 a.m., E.T. in Room HC-5 of the U.S. Capitol Building.
In his speech, the Chairman will outline the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to American technological innovation and economic prosperity.
Today, John Moolenaar (R-MI), Chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Representative Dusty Johnson (R-SD), Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) introduced legislation to prohibit the use of Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-affiliated LiDAR technology by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that captures detailed three-dimensional maps of surrounding environments with millimeter-level accuracy.
