The Select Committee on China’s three-part investigative report on China’s global mining practices – China’s Minerals Mafia: A Global Pattern of Corruption, Environmental Destruction, and Human Rights Abuse – reports on widespread exploitation and abuse in Zimbabwe’s lithium sector which is now largely controlled by Chinese companies.

China is destroying the planet and leaving behind a trail of corruption and human rights abuses in its quest to dominate critical minerals. That is the conclusion of the Select Committee’s new three-part report documenting 14 cases of Chinese mining companies – under the control of the Chinese Communist Party – engaging in “corrupt, illegal, and abusive practices in countries around the world…including exploitation of weak and indebted governments, corrupt and predatory business practices, the use of forced and child labor, [and] environmental destruction.”

Today, House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY) announced a joint investigation into the national security and cybersecurity risks posed by the growing adoption of Chinese-developed artificial intelligence models, including low-cost, open-weight, and API-accessible systems developed by Chinese companies such as DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. 

In case you missed it, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee recently told The New York Times that the use of slave labor cotton in the production of Labubus is “unsurprising and unacceptable.” 

"The use of slave labor cotton in these products is unsurprising and unacceptable," said Moolenaar in a full quote provided to the Times. "Parents should know these toys are being made by people forced to work against their will by the Chinese Communist Party as part of a genocide. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act must be enforced and these products should be prohibited from being imported into America unless clearly proven otherwise.”

Today, the White House publicly confronted China on “industrial-scale campaigns” to steal artificial intelligence models. In a memo, Director Michael Kratsios of the Office of Science and Technology Policy said the Trump Administration will work with American companies to coordinate agai

Today, the House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced export control legislation that will restrict the flow of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, crack down on chip smuggling, protect whistleblowers, and stop American AI models from being stolen.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China is urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pursue diplomatic engagement with the Dutch government to close a major loophole in the sale of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China. In his letter, Moolenaar highlighted recent reporting that the Dutch toolmaker ASML plans to begin shipments of certain advanced lithography systems to China by the end of 2026. 

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China has introduced the Semiconductor Controls Adjusted to Limit Exports (SCALE) Act. The legislation would establish a clear standard for export controls on the sale of advanced semiconductors to China.

“The SCALE Act will help secure the future of America’s dominance in artificial intelligence by ensuring American companies never sell the best chips in the world to China. By grounding semiconductor export controls in objective metrics, we can ensure a level playing field for American business, while protecting national security as China races to catch up to us,” said Moolenaar.
