WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party sent a letter to the Eclipse Foundation raising serious concerns regarding the non-profit's support of HarmonyOS, OpenHarmony, and collaborations with the OpenAtom Foundation.

HarmonyOS and OpenHarmony are operating systems developed by Huawei as an alternative to the current leading mobile operating systems developed by Google (Android) and Apple (iOS), as well as desktop operating systems such as those developed by Microsoft (Windows). HarmonyOS and OpenHarmony are also intended for use in products other than smartphones, tablets, and computers, including connected vehicles and smart devices.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House Select Committee on China today hosted a press conference to commemorate the legacy of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Held on the massacre's 36th anniversary, the event highlighted the powerful courage of dissidents and pro-democracy advocates in China today.

A variety of speakers attended the event, but their messages shared one theme: standing up for freedom against the totalitarian regime of the CCP.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) of the House Select Committee on China today applauded Eastern Michigan University’s decision to end its partnerships with two Chinese universities tied to the Chinese military and national security apparatus.

In February, Chairman Moolenaar and Chairman Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) of the House Education and Workforce Committee urged EMU leadership to sever ties with Beibu Gulf University and Guangxi University. Beibu’s Maritime College has trained students as wartime reserve forces—contributing directly to China’s military posture in the South China Sea—while Guangxi University has supported key national defense initiatives of the People’s Republic of China.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China today sent a letter to Almonty Industries, Inc., requesting detailed information about the company’s capacity and commitment to supply the United States with tungsten—a critical mineral essential to the U.S. defense industrial base.

The letter highlights the strategic importance of tungsten, a critical mineral used in U.S. ammunition, aerospace components, and advanced electronics, for which there is currently no domestic production. It also seeks to understand how Almonty's mining operation could reduce U.S. reliance on China for the key import.
