China
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – China is not our friend. Congress must do more to counteract their increasingly aggressive economic and diplomatic posture.
For too long, China’s state-owned technology and telecommunications companies, like Huawei, have been infiltrating America’s data, infrastructure, and telecommunications networks. This is a major national security risk that we cannot take lightly, and as the Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation, I vow to hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable.
For the last century, the CCP has repeatedly violated basic human rights and brutalized its own citizens. As a nation that opposes and condemns hatred in any form, the U.S. must find ways to hold China accountable for its heinous actions. The U.S. must also act to counter Chinese aggression within the Indo-Pacific region, including by partnering with our allies to combat its illegitimate claims on the world’s most important shipping lanes in the South China Sea and predatory actions toward developing countries.
From failing the world with their handling of COVID-19, to committing atrocities against their own people, to posing a national security risk to the United States – Congress must continue to be tough on China until they change their policies and behaviors.
Here’s how I am working to hold China accountable:
- H.R. 4785 – Uyghur Policy Act
- H.R. 4792 – Countering Communist China Act
- H.R.1263 - End College CCP Act
- H.R.954 - Chinese Research Funds Accounting Act
- H.R. 5760 – China Watcher Act
- H.R. 6586 – GENOCIDE GAMES Act
- H.R. 1145 – Restore Observer Status for Taiwan in the World Health Organization
- H.Res. 931 – Counter CCP Olympic Influence Resolution
- H.Res. 500 – Condemning the Chinese Communist Party Resolution
- Sent a letter to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan regarding the Biden Administration’s efforts to protect our nation’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) supply chain from CCP
- Sent a letter to Secretaries Mayorkas and Raimondo expressing concern with the rise of Chinese technology company Xiaomi, which has recently launched several new high-end smartphones aiming to fill the consumer-facing void left by Huawei
