In case you missed it, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee recently told The New York Times that the use of slave labor cotton in the production of Labubus is “unsurprising and unacceptable.” 

"The use of slave labor cotton in these products is unsurprising and unacceptable," said Moolenaar in a full quote provided to the Times. "Parents should know these toys are being made by people forced to work against their will by the Chinese Communist Party as part of a genocide.

Today, the House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced export control legislation that will restrict the flow of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, crack down on chip smuggling, protect whistleblowers, and stop American AI models from being stolen.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China is urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pursue diplomatic engagement with the Dutch government to close a major loophole in the sale of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China has introduced the Semiconductor Controls Adjusted to Limit Exports (SCALE) Act. The legislation would establish a clear standard for export controls on the sale of advanced semiconductors to China.

“The SCALE Act will help secure the future of America’s dominance in artificial intelligence by ensuring American companies never sell the best chips in the world to China. By grounding semiconductor export controls in objective metrics, we can ensure a level playing field for American business, while protecting national security as China races to catch up to us,” said Moolenaar.
