Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China (SCC) and Chairman Chris Smith (R-NJ) of the Congressional Executive Commission on China (CECC) have sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin requesting a briefing on DHS’s implementation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).

“Congress enacted these laws to ensure that illegally traded goods, particularly those made with forced labor, do not enter U.S. commerce and do not make American consumers complicit in atrocities, including genocide, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR),” the lawmakers write. “Strong enforcement protects human rights, supports American workers, and helps ensure that U.S. businesses are not undercut by illegal and unfair trade practices.”

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China was interviewed by Bloomberg yesterday about the news TikTok reneged on its commitment to participate in a public roundtable with the committee.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement after TikTok reneged on its commitment to participate in a public roundtable with the Select Committee in September:

Today, the House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation that will target Chinese companies who abuse our nation’s trade laws. The Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act would create a new Department of Justice task force to enforce trade-related crimes committed by Chinese companies including but not limited to tariff and duty evasion, import and export restrictions, trade-based money laundering, smuggling, and other import and export-related crimes. The legislation is led by Select Committee on China (SCC) Chairman John Moolenaar and SCC members Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), and others.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on China made the following statement on fast fashion company Shein's plans for its initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange next month, after failing to go public in New York and London due to Shein's use of slave labor:

“For major U.S. banks to bankroll Shein’s IPO shows these institutions have no regard for human rights or the victims of forced labor who will be forced to pick cotton for Shein’s clothes. It is unconscionable for the American leaders of these institutions to claim they care about U.S. national security and then underwrite a company tied to the CCP and its forced labor and genocide. Enabling the human rights abuses of Shein and the CCP is a stain they will never be able to wash out unless they end their support for this IPO immediately.”

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China (SCC), Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA), SCC Member Congressman Dan Newhouse (R-WA), and Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), have reintroduced the CCP Fentanyl Sanctions Act. This legislation cracks down on China-based and CCP-backed entities engaged in drug trafficking by targeting the Chinese chemical manufacturers and online vendors profiting from poisoning Americans.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on reports that China is planning to put leaders of Zion Church on trial in the coming weeks:

“It was a true blessing to celebrate the release of Pastor Ezra Jin last month, but religious freedom in China is still under attack. President Trump has made it clear he strongly opposes the persecution of Christians around the world and China is no exception. The CCP should immediately release the eight remaining Zion Church leaders, as well as all persecuted underground church leaders including Pastor Gao Quanfu. They should be reunited with their families, and all Chinese citizens should be allowed to freely and openly follow the faith of their choice.”
