WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the CCP and Representative Young Kim (R-CA), Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Indo-Pacific, introduced the Protecting American Innovation and Development (PAID) Act to hold foreign adversaries accountable for stealing American intellectual property (IP), violating the law, and undermining U.S. businesses, national security, and global competitiveness.

The PAID Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to identify and report on foreign adversary entities, including those affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Russia, North Korea, and Iran, using American IP related to a critical or emerging technology area without a license.

During the incident, an alleged Harvard student from China dragged one of the students out of the event. Following the incident, another Harvard student grew afraid after an alleged event organizer approached her and sought the names of students who challenged the Ambassador.

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) today sent a letter to Department of Commerce Under Secretary Kathi Vidal urging the Administration to provide a full accounting of the national security damage already caused by the United States and China's Science and Technology Agreement (STA). Despite the Biden Administration claiming that the STA has resulted in no dual-use technology transfer, we know that the Chinese Communist Party has previously leveraged the STA to advance its military objectives and will do so again. Alarmingly, the Biden Administration has extended the agreement twice.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party co-sponsored the No American Land for the Chinese Communist Party Act alongside Select Committee member Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) to prevent the CCP from purchasing land adjacent to federally owned land.

Chairman Moolenaar said, "There is no world in which the Chinese Communist Party would allow Americans to buy vast swaths of farmland next to its military bases. 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."
