Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China and other Congressional national security leaders are urging the Treasury Department to take additional action to implement the Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security (COINS) Act and ensure American capital and expertise do not strengthen the Chinese Communist Party’s military industrial base.

“The OISP and the COINS Act have been critical steps toward ensuring that American capital does not finance the military modernization of our foremost strategic competitor,” wrote Chairman Moolenaar and the lawmakers in their letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “However, more must be done to ensure the United States does not fund capabilities that threaten our national security, economic strength, and technological leadership.”

“China has given more than $6 billion to American universities as it seeks to infiltrate our campuses, promote its authoritarian agenda, and gain access to taxpayer-funded research,” said Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China. “This new partnership is another example of how the Trump Administration is seriously challenging the threats from China and demanding more accountability from academic leaders who have allowed their campuses to be havens for China’s espionage efforts.”

"We write to you concerning our oversight efforts relating to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence over our nation’s universities and other research institutions. It is well established that our university systems serve as soft targets in China’s quest to acquire U.S. knowledge, research, and intellectual property, which is often funded by our taxpayers," the lawmakers begin.

China has convicted Kwok Yin-sang, the father of Hong Kong dissident Anna Kwok, under a new national security law.

“The CCP’s prosecution of a dissident's father in an attempt to pressure his daughter is reprehensible. This is blatant transnational repression that is meant to intimidate and bully a courageous woman who spoke out against the CCP’s tyranny. I stand with the Kwok family and all of the dissidents in Hong Kong who are working for freedom and liberty,” said Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China.

Anna Kwok is a pro-democracy leader from Hong Kong who lives in exile from the Chinese government. In 2023, the government put a bounty of one million Hong Kong dollars on Kwok for her arrest.
