WASHINGTON DC—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.

The letter was also signed by Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and Reps. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), Andy Barr (R-KY), Michelle Steel (R-CA), and Carlos Gimenez (R-FL).

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."
