WASHINGTON, D.C.-- In July, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party opened an investigation into Ford’s proposed licensing agreement with CCP-aligned electric vehicle battery maker, CATL. Rep. Mike Gallagher, Chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, released the statement below following reports that Ford will pause the agreement. 

"After months of investigation by the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, we're encouraged to see Ford take a crucial first step to reevaluate its deal with Chinese Communist Party-aligned EV battery firm, CATL. CATL's deep ties to CCP forced labor have no place in the American market and make the company exceptionally unfit to receive American taxpayer dollars. Now, Ford needs to call off this deal for good."

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has issued its first subpoena as part of its ongoing investigation into the clandestine Chinese laboratory that local authorities uncovered in Reedley, California. 

“It is deeply disturbing that a Chinese company set up a clandestine facility in small-town America that contained, per the CDC, ‘at least 20 potentially infectious agents’ like HIV and the deadliest known form of malaria. We are grateful to the city of Reedley for their cooperation," said Rep. Gallagher. "The American people deserve answers, and we will get to the bottom of this issue to ensure our adversaries are not endangering the safety of Americans on our soil."
