House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI), Select Committee Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA), and Congresswoman Young Kim (R-CA) released a statement with multiple U.S. Senators, led by the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) and Ranking Member Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), condemning China's move:

The Chinese Communist Party's dystopian and deceptively-named "Ethnic Unity and Progress Law," is set to go into force on July 1.

“This law is an ugly escalation of the CCP’s cruelty and paranoia, and China plans to use it to continue its harassment and intimidation of critics who live beyond its borders. China will also use it to further perpetuate atrocities and to legitimize its abuse of Tibetans, Uyghurs, and other people of faith, as well as people it classifies as minority nationalities. This week as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, the CCP is going backwards and showing once again it does not believe in the God-given rights we enjoy. The true national unity the CCP seeks comes not from oppression, but from citizens freely living and worshipping as they please,” said Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China.

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China has cosponsored legislation to prohibit the use of remote sensors and imaging equipment from China in American vehicles. The Stopping Adversaries From Exploiting (SAFE) LiDAR Act was introduced by Select Committee member Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and it bans the use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) from firms based in or controlled from China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea.

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China and Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) are co-leading bipartisan legislation to stop the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from accessing advanced AI chips through cloud platforms, by giving providers the tools they need to flag suspicious behavior and report misuse by America's adversaries. 

Today, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar delivered his opening statement at the Select Committee’s hearing titled "China’s Economic Espionage and Subnational Influence in the United States."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for being here.

Today’s hearing is on the Chinese Communist Party’s economic espionage and malign influence targeted at the subnational level. This is an active threat, and we will examine how these activities have accelerated in scale, intensity, and sophistication over the past decade.

The CCP’s professed desire for “constructive” relations, its pursuit of so-called “win-win” outcomes, and its supposed respect for the sovereignty of other nations are all promises the CCP will always break.

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) of House Republican Leadership sent a letter to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth urging strict implementation of a new requirement for U.S.

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China has cosponsored the Tibet Atrocities Determination Act recently introduced by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), and Select Committee member Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY). This legislation would direct the Secretary of State to determine if the growing body of evidence documenting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) systematic abuses of the Tibetan people in Tibet constitutes an “ongoing genocide” or “crimes against humanity.”

“The American people will never turn a blind eye to the CCP’s oppression of innocent Tibetans who wish to live freely and follow their faith,” said Moolenaar. “This legislation is the first step to holding China accountable for its atrocities in Tibet."

Background

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on China's detention of American citizen Min Zin:

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA) of the Select Committee on China sent a bipartisan letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urging the Department of Commerce to uphold longstanding strong trade enforcement practices to prevent bad actors, like China, from harming domestic manufacturers. Specifically, they ask the Department to reaffirm its longstanding practice of applying a higher duty in antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigations when foreign companies refuse to cooperate.

Today, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China (R-MI) and Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced legislation that would create tax credits to support American magnet production and a domestic magnet supply chain. The Magnets Value Chain Support Act of 2026 would help reshore the magnet supply chain, from rare earth oxide production all the way through to magnet manufacturing and into the motors and defense systems that depend on magnets. This would reduce America's dangerous dependence on China for components essential to economic and national security. 

Today, the Pentagon announced additions to its list of known Chinese military companies (1260H List). The additions include numerous Chinese companies Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar and other congressional leaders have requested be added to the list.
