Letters

Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on China sent a letter to Columbia University Acting President Claire Shipman urging the university to end its association with the China–United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) and to investigate foreign funding of student groups.

Chairmen John Moolenaar, Brian Mast, Rick Crawford, Andrew Garbarino, and Bill Huizenga sent a letter to Secretary Howard Lutnick urging the Department of Commerce’s Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services (OICTS) to expand investigations and restrictions on Chinese and other foreign adversary technologies operating in U.S. supply chains.

A group of lawmakers has written to Solicitor General Sauer urging the Department of Justice to recommend that the Supreme Court deny Cisco Systems’ petition for certiorari in Cisco Systems, Inc. v. Doe I. The case centers on allegations that Cisco custom-designed surveillance technology for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to identify and persecute members of the Falun Gong religious community.

Chairman John Moolenaar sent a letter to imprisoned Hong Kong democracy advocate Jimmy Lai, expressing support for his courage, highlighting the Chinese Communist Party’s intensifying campaign against religious freedom, and reaffirming the Select Committee’s commitment to holding the CCP accountable for its persecution of people of faith and defenders of liberty.

The Select Committee urges Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker to cancel the planned September 30, 2025 flag-raising ceremony honoring the People’s Republic of China (PRC). While recognizing the value of free expression in the U.S., the Committee stresses that an official PRC flag-raising risks legitimizing the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) authoritarian regime—a government engaged in genocide against Uyghur Muslims, persecution of religious communities, and enabling the fentanyl crisis devastating American families.

The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has written to PayPal seeking assurances that its new integrations with Tencent’s Tenpay Global—the operator of Weixin (WeChat) Pay—comply fully with U.S. anti–money laundering (AML) requirements. These integrations allow PayPal users in the U.S., Canada, and Europe to both remit funds directly into Weixin Pay wallets and linked bank accounts in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and to make purchases inside the PRC using Weixin Pay QR codes.

The Committee strongly supports this call for coordinated allied action to counter the CCP’s ongoing weaponization of critical mineral and rare earth supply chains. The letter commends U.S. leadership in pressing G7 partners to impose tariffs on China for supporting Russia, highlighting how collective measures can cut off resources that fuel aggression.
