Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China has cosponsored the Tibet Atrocities Determination Act recently introduced by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), and Select Committee member Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY). This legislation would direct the Secretary of State to determine if the growing body of evidence documenting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) systematic abuses of the Tibetan people in Tibet constitutes an “ongoing genocide” or “crimes against humanity.”

“The American people will never turn a blind eye to the CCP’s oppression of innocent Tibetans who wish to live freely and follow their faith,” said Moolenaar. “This legislation is the first step to holding China accountable for its atrocities in Tibet."

Background

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on China's detention of American citizen Min Zin:

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA) of the Select Committee on China sent a bipartisan letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urging the Department of Commerce to uphold longstanding strong trade enforcement practices to prevent bad actors, like China, from harming domestic manufacturers. Specifically, they ask the Department to reaffirm its longstanding practice of applying a higher duty in antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigations when foreign companies refuse to cooperate.

Today, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China (R-MI) and Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced legislation that would create tax credits to support American magnet production and a domestic magnet supply chain. The Magnets Value Chain Support Act of 2026 would help reshore the magnet supply chain, from rare earth oxide production all the way through to magnet manufacturing and into the motors and defense systems that depend on magnets. This would reduce America's dangerous dependence on China for components essential to economic and national security. 

Today, the Pentagon announced additions to its list of known Chinese military companies (1260H List). The additions include numerous Chinese companies Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar and other congressional leaders have requested be added to the list.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), and Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) introduced legislation to counter China’s exploitation of the U.S. patent system. The Prohibiting Adversarial Patents Act would prohibit the issuance of a U.S. patent to any person or entity who is identified to be a threat to U.S. national security pursuant to the Non-SDN CMIC List, the 1260H List, or the FCC's Covered List.

Today, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee of China (R-MI) hosted a bipartisan event on the 37th anniversary of the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. The event featured remarks from Moolenaar, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Congresswoman Jill Tokuda (D-HI), and powerful testimonies from exiled dissidents Arthur Liu - the father of Olympic champion figure skater Alysa Liu - and former U.S. Army Chaplain Yan Xiong.
