Today, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) issued the following statement on President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in South Korea:
“In a successful trip to Asia, President Trump turbocharged America’s efforts to counter Chinese aggression on rare earths and secured critical minerals agreements with our allies that will benefit America for years to come. China’s rare earth controls are a loaded gun pointed at our economy, and we must neutralize the threat by ending supply chain dependencies on China before it is too late. President Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping also brought hopeful progress for our farmers and the fight against fentanyl, but the ultimate measure of success will be whether China upholds its promises or lies and cheats as it usually does."

Good morning. Thank you to Providence and the Institute on Religion & Democracy for the invitation to speak at this important gathering.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is straining with all its might to build a domestic, self-sufficient, semiconductor manufacturing industry in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). To do this, the PRC has been acquiring semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME) produced by U.S. and allied companies to build in semiconductor fabrication facilities (“fabs”) in the PRC that produce a wide range of semiconductor chips, including advanced, foundational, and legacy chips.
