WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, a bipartisan group from the House Select Committee on China, including Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI), Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), and Representative Darin LaHood (R-IL), introduced the Advanced AI Security Readiness Act—legislation dedicated to protecting American AI from foreign threats. Ranking Member of the House Intelligence National Security Agency and Cyber Subcommittee Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) accompanied them in introducing the bill.

The Advanced AI Security Readiness Act would have wide-ranging implications for national security, including:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party sent a letter to the Eclipse Foundation raising serious concerns regarding the non-profit's support of HarmonyOS, OpenHarmony, and collaborations with the OpenAtom Foundation.

HarmonyOS and OpenHarmony are operating systems developed by Huawei as an alternative to the current leading mobile operating systems developed by Google (Android) and Apple (iOS), as well as desktop operating systems such as those developed by Microsoft (Windows). HarmonyOS and OpenHarmony are also intended for use in products other than smartphones, tablets, and computers, including connected vehicles and smart devices.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House Select Committee on China today hosted a press conference to commemorate the legacy of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Held on the massacre's 36th anniversary, the event highlighted the powerful courage of dissidents and pro-democracy advocates in China today.

A variety of speakers attended the event, but their messages shared one theme: standing up for freedom against the totalitarian regime of the CCP.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) of the House Select Committee on China today applauded Eastern Michigan University’s decision to end its partnerships with two Chinese universities tied to the Chinese military and national security apparatus.

In February, Chairman Moolenaar and Chairman Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) of the House Education and Workforce Committee urged EMU leadership to sever ties with Beibu Gulf University and Guangxi University. Beibu’s Maritime College has trained students as wartime reserve forces—contributing directly to China’s military posture in the South China Sea—while Guangxi University has supported key national defense initiatives of the People’s Republic of China.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China today sent a letter to Almonty Industries, Inc., requesting detailed information about the company’s capacity and commitment to supply the United States with tungsten—a critical mineral essential to the U.S. defense industrial base.

The letter highlights the strategic importance of tungsten, a critical mineral used in U.S. ammunition, aerospace components, and advanced electronics, for which there is currently no domestic production. It also seeks to understand how Almonty's mining operation could reduce U.S. reliance on China for the key import.

WASHINGTON DC — This week, the House Select Committee on China hosted a roundtable discussion with a visiting delegation from the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance of China (IPAC), an international, bipartisan coalition of legislators focused on threats posed by the CCP. Members of the delegation included representatives from the United Kingdom, Slovakia, Germany, and the Netherlands. Chairman Moolenaar, the U.S. Co-Chair of IPAC, and Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi, also an IPAC member, led the discussion.

The discussion covered a range of issues, including authoritarian aggression, global trade and security, and support for Taiwan—a beacon of democracy and critical partner of the United States.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) 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) are urging the Department of Commerce to expand the role of the U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI) to directly confront the mounting national security threat posed by China’s artificial intelligence advancements.

In a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the lawmakers emphasized that “there is a strong national security need for better understanding, predicting, and preparing for the PRC’s AI progress.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on China and Senator Marsha Blackburn today sent a letter to the CEOs of Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt Hotels raising serious concerns about the companies’ use of the term “Taiwan, China” on their websites and promotional materials.

The lawmakers argue that such labeling contradicts longstanding U.S. policy and lends false legitimacy to the Chinese Communist Party’s claims over Taiwan.

“The current practice, with implicit reference to Taiwan being a part of China, stands in stark contrast to the position of the United States government—to the detriment of Taiwan, a thriving democracy and one of America’s top trading partners,” said Chairman Moolenaar and Senator Blackburn.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a high-stakes hearing last week, the House Select Committee on China delivered an urgent message: the clock is ticking to stop a war in the Indo-Pacific—and this Congress may be America’s last full chance to do it.

Hearing Recap and Summary:

Chairman John Moolenaar didn’t mince words, saying, “2027 is not an American date but a Chinese one,” referencing Xi Jinping’s order for the PLA to be ready to take Taiwan by force. "Deterrence delayed is deterrence denied."
