Over the past two years, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and the Committee on Education and the Workforce’s (Committees) investigations revealed how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) exploits U.S. universities—and gains access to U.S. government-funded research—to fuel its military and technological rise.

Dear Secretary Rubio:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China sent a letter urging U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to adopt a rolling technical threshold (RTT) approach to AI chip exports to China that provides a marginal improvement over the most advanced chips that China can domestically produce at scale.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar today called on local leaders in Montgomery County, Maryland, and Des Moines, Iowa, to end partnerships with organizations tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that are using cultural and educational exchanges to target American youth.
In letters to Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich and Des Moines Mayor Connie Boesen, Chairman Moolenaar detailed how recent student trips to China, funded by CCP-affiliated organizations, serve as propaganda and influence operations rather than genuine cultural exchanges.
In 2018, President Trump took a bold stand against the CCP’s economic warfare—imposing tariffs on hundreds of billions in Chinese goods. The result? Beijing made commitments it had never agreed to before. But as history shows, the CCP failed to keep its word.
Today, President Trump is once again securing major trade and investment wins with our allies and partners. As negotiations with the CCP move forward, any Phase II deal must protect BOTH America’s economy and our national security.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on the China and Senator Rick Scott sent a letter to Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler thanking him for the administration’s efforts to protect American national security from adversaries the CCP that seek to destroy our way of life.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI), Representative Zach Nunn (R-IA), and Representative Jill Tokuda (D-HI) of the House Select Committee on China introduced bipartisan legislation directing the Department of Defense to establish a formal partnership with Taiwan to enhance joint defense industrial capabilities and counter the rapidly growing threat of Chinese military tech.
The legislation is aimed at countering China's development of dual-use military tech by coordinating research and development and fostering joint partnerships between U.S. and Taiwanese defense companies. The focus would be on co-developing drones, microchips, directed-energy weapons, and missile systems.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China, Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) of the Committee on Education and Workforce, and Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) sent a letter to Harvard University identifying alarming new evidence of Harvard's partnership with a Chinese Communist Party school, including a formal training program for Party members tagged for future leadership positions.
The committee learned from multiple whistleblowers that Harvard partners with a school controlled by the Central Organization Department of the Central Committee on the CCP, also known as the CCP Organization Department.
The CCP Organization Department is directly responsible for furthering Xi Jinping's authoritarian regime.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI), Congressional Executive Commission on China (CECC) Chairman Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and CECC Co-Chairman Chris Smith (R-NJ) introduced the Uyghur Genocide and Accountability Sanctions Act of 2025, bipartisan legislation holding the People's Republic of China (PRC) accountable for the ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs.
They were joined by CECC Commissioners Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY) in introducing the bill.
The Uyghur Genocide and Accountability Sanctions Act would:
