WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party wrote to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo drawing her attention to China's distortion of fair market practices and its impact on the global economy, using the CCP's manipulation of the resin industry as a case study for the broader trend. Chairman Moolenaar also urged Commerce to apply the "special rules for costs", which empowers Commerce to adjust reported costs submitted by foreign producers and counter overcapacity and market distortion when they occur in the American economy. 

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party today will introduce the Economic Security and Diplomacy Act of 2024. The bill would streamline the State Department’s efforts to advance U.S. economic security interests, particularly as adversaries like China pose greater economic threats. Presently, the State Department maintains little coordination to compete against the Chinese Communist Party on economic and technology issues, with its offices and authorities scattered across the vast government bureaucracy.

Here's how the bill works:

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party called on the University of Michigan to close its joint institute with the PRC institution Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Shanghai Jiao Tong University has helped drive China’s military modernization and intelligence capabilities, including by contributing to the development of nuclear weapons, carrier rockets, nuclear submarines, and fighter jets.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and Chinese Communist Party commended the administration’s recent approval of arms sales to enhance Taiwan’s defenses and deter CCP aggression. 

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Yesterday evening, the Department of Treasury released final regulations to implement President Biden's executive order that seeks to restrict investments into countries that pose a national security threat to the United States, like China. Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) issued the following statement on this development:

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and Chinese Communist Party wrote to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo about the threat of China’s growing silicon photonics industry, which represents the next front in semiconductor competition, and the need to bolster domestic innovation in this field. Photonics is a technology that relies on light particles to transmit information.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar today released the statement below following reports that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC)-manufactured chips have fueled Huawei artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators, in a major circumvention of US export controls.

“Reports that cutting-edge TSMC-manufactured chips have contributed to Huawei’s AI development represent a catastrophic failure of US export control policy. AI accelerators, like the one that these chips fueled, are at the forefront of our technology race with the CCP, and I fear the damage done here will have significant consequences for our national security. Congress needs immediate answers from both BIS and TSMC about the scope and volume of this disaster. The U.S. government must take immediate steps to ensure this does not happen again.”
