 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.
