The letter warns that the investment threatens U.S. national security, risks the extraction of critical dual-use technology, undermines American medical innovation, and jeopardizes U.S. jobs and patient access to life-saving devices.
Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on the Panama Supreme Court’s decision to end the Panama Canal Authority’s contract with CK Hutchison, a China-backed firm:
“The Supreme Court of Panama has made the right decision to terminate CK Hutchison’s contract to operate two ports on the Panama Canal. This is a win for America, Panama, and all of our allies who recognize the Canal’s importance to national security and the world economy. China’s malign influence is unwelcome in the Western Hemisphere and it is critical that all ports on the Canal be entrusted to operators who share our common values and a commitment to continued cooperation with both the U.S. and Panama. Thank you to President Trump and President Mulino for their leadership in protecting the Canal from malign Chinese activity.”

Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on China sent a letter to National Science Foundation Interim Director Brian Stone urging NSF to immediately revoke Chinese entities’ access to the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) program.
Today, the United Kingdom approved China’s plan to build a mega-embassy in London’s financial district. The proposed plan calls for the construction of the largest Chinese embassy in Europe on the site of the Royal Mint Court in London.
“The UK’s decision defies common sense. It is effectively rewarding China for spying on Parliament, interfering in the UK’s elections, and fueling Russia’s war in Ukraine. China is also suspected of cutting undersea cables, so letting it build on the land above critical infrastructure is a serious security risk. The only safeguard against the mega-embassy is to prohibit its construction,” said Moolenaar.
