Today, following a months-long investigation, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) uncovered alarming new information revealing that companies in America and allied nations —including ASML in the Netherlands, Tokyo Electron (TEL) in Japan, and Applied Materials, KLA, and Lam Research in the United States—fueled semiconductor manufacturing in China and made sizeable returns selling equipment to Chinese state-owned and military-linked companies.
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.

While recognizing the value of free expression in the U.S., the Committee stresses that an official PRC flag-raising risks legitimizing the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) authoritarian regime—a government engaged in genocide against Uyghur Muslims, persecution of religious communities, and enabling the fentanyl crisis devastating American families.
This week, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) sent a letter to Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker demanding that the City of Philadelphia—the same city where America declared its independence nearly 250 years ago—cancel the upcoming official flag-raising ceremony of the Chinese Communist Party's Five-Star Red Flag.

Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) sent a letter to Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to investigate Anker Innovations and its potential abuse of trade practices and tariff evasion. The company also has a history of selling security equipment that allowed unencrypted video streams to be accessed.
"Beyond unfair direct subsidies, we want to highlight Anker’s import practices and potential tariff evasion. Information reviewed by the Committee suggests Anker employs various unlawful methods to avoid U.S. tariffs, including misclassifying product codes to obtain non-China country of origin designations (e.g., misclassifying batteries as wireless chargers)," writes Chairman Moolenaar in the letter.
