BOSTON, MA — Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI), Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Reps. Darin LaHood (R-IL), Seth Moulton (D-MA), Neal Dunn (R-FL), and Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were in Boston yesterday, where they met with leaders of the U.S. biotechnology industry to discuss the Chinese Communist Party threat to U.S. biosecurity and how U.S. companies can better compete on the global stage.

 Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), alongside Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) and Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN), sent a letter to the Departments of Treasury, Defense, and Commerce calling on them to investigate Chinese biotech company, WuXi AppTec, and its subsidiaries, citing WuXi AppTec’s alarming ties to the Chinese military (the People's Liberation Army or PLA), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the CCP’s human rights abuses.

As a result, the lawmakers request that the agencies consider adding WuXi AppTec and its subsidiaries to the Department of Defense’s Chinese Military Companies List (1260H list), the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security Entity List, and the Department of Treasury’s Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List.

Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) released the following statement after United Arab Emirate firm, G42, announced it has sold its stake in Chinese companies.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) unveiled the findings of their bipartisan investigation into five U.S. venture capital firms. The lawmakers found that these firms invested at least $3 billion in, and provided expertise and other benefits to, People's Republic of China (PRC) critical technology companies, including many aiding the Chinese military, surveillance state, or the CCP's genocide in Xinjiang.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party wrote to the Departments of Defense and Transportation, exposing critical deficiencies in the United States’ military sealift capabilities in the Indo-Pacific. The Chinese military has embarked on an unprecedented naval buildup. Meanwhile, our aging and underfunded fleet of sealift ships will be relied on to transport ninety percent of all Army and Marine Corps equipment to support large-scale operations in the Indo-Pacific. Gallagher called the current situation a “screaming national security vulnerability.”
