Select Committee on China

A would-be spy offered a staffer on @ChinaSelect $10,000 for insider information on U.S. policy. Our staffer's response? Report it, document it, and expose it. As a Select Committee, we referred the matter to the @FBI after documenting the outreach and collecting call transcripts. This is exactly why the Select Committee on China exists, to shine a light on the CCP’s efforts to infiltrate our institutions, and to fight to protect U.S. national security. nytimes.com/2026/05/09/us/…

Chairman @RepMoolenaar on a new @DailyCaller report that claims a federally funded forensic science institute program @UNewHaven trained large numbers of Chinese police and security personnel associated with the Chinese Ministry of Public Security. “The allegations of UNH training students from the MPS must be thoroughly investigated and all American universities must do more to protect taxpayer-funded research from our adversaries. No American university — and certainly not the five in this NSA program — should be admitting individuals with ties to China’s MPS, which has been involved in the authoritarian oppression of the Chinese people for decades." dailycaller.com/2026/05/12/exc…

The Chinese Communist Party isn’t just restricting faith, it’s rewriting it. Under Xi Jinping’s “sinicization” campaign, core teachings are being stripped away with commandments erased, references to God removed, and even biblical passages rewritten to align with Party doctrine. Churches are surveilled, clergy are forced to pledge loyalty to the state party, and children are barred from worship. This is not religious freedom, it’s subjugation. No government has the authority to rewrite faith or claim ownership over the soul. Chairman @RepMoolenaar made his position clear in a letter to @SupportJimmyLai last year, "You know that across China today, the Party is carrying out its most systematic campaign of religious persecution since the Cultural Revolution. The Party calls it the “sinicization of religion.” But you know what it really means is subjugation. You know that the Party demands that every conscience, every congregation, and every creed bow before its rule. You know that religious leaders who refuse to join Party-controlled “patriotic” churches are detained, disappeared, or silenced." providencemag.com/2026/05/thou-s…

The @USTreasury just sanctioned 12 individuals and entities tied to the IRGC’s oil smuggling network spanning Hong Kong, Dubai, Oman, and beyond. Front companies like Hong Kong Blue Ocean Limited and Universal Fortune Trading helped move tens of millions of dollars in Iranian oil on sanctioned “shadow fleet” tankers like CANGJIE and SCALER, much of it destined for buyers in China. This is how Tehran funds terrorism and repression, and how the CCP-enabled market sustains it. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

Today, Chairman @RepMoolenaar and @RepDebDingell introduced the Connected Vehicle Security Act. The legislation would prohibit the importation, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China. The Connected Vehicle Security Act builds on the work of two administrations. In 2019, President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency with respect to foreign threats to America's information and communications technology supply chain, establishing the legal authority for the federal government to act. The Biden Administration used that authority to finalize regulations in January 2025 prohibiting connected vehicle software and hardware linked to China and Russia. The Connected Vehicle Security Act expands those protections in statute. More here: chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

This latest case out of Michigan is another reminder of a serious and ongoing threat we can’t ignore. A former visiting scholar at the @UMich has been charged with lying to @CBP when departing the United States in 2023, including allegedly concealing ties to military-relevant aerospace work. We’re seeing a repeated pattern of deception tied to access to U.S. research and advanced technology. It underscores why we have to stay focused on protecting our research institutions and ensuring adversaries can’t exploit them. detroitnews.com/story/news/loc…

China’s economy is slowing even as military and security spending rises. Cities and factories are struggling, youth job prospects are weak, and household confidence is down. Instead of reforms that would boost growth and jobs, China is doubling down on state-directed investment and control. wsj.com/world/china/xi…

This is how long Jimmy Lai has been in solitary confinement. For publishing the truth. For believing in a free press. For loving Hong Kong enough to stay. On May 14 and 15, @POTUS will meet with Xi Jinping. Jimmy's name needs to be on the table. Bring him home, Mr. President. #FreeJimmyLai

The CCP’s push for AI dominance isn’t driven by fair competition but instead by theft and smuggling. U.S. officials have warned of “industrial-scale” efforts to siphon know-how from American labs, including the use of more than 24,000 fraudulent accounts to generate over 16 million interactions with advanced AI systems. This “distillation” allows Chinese entities to replicate frontier models at a fraction of the time and cost. At the same time, federal prosecutors have uncovered a global smuggling network moving billions of dollars’ worth of restricted chips through Southeast Asia into China while evading U.S. safeguards to power China’s AI ambitions. This is a coordinated strategy to shortcut innovation and undermine American technological leadership. spectator.com/article/chinas…

This Mother’s Day, we honor not only the love and sacrifice of mothers, but the extraordinary courage of those who stand up to the tyranny of the CCP. We remember the unwavering resolve of Ding Zilin and Zhang Xianling, who have spent decades demanding accountability for the lives lost at Tiananmen Square. We recognize the strength of Nurungul Tohti and Gulshan Abbas, whose families have been torn apart by China's systemic oppression of Uyghur communities. We stand with Pu Wenqing, Shao Wenxia, Keke the mother of Niu Tengyu, He Fangmei, and Yin Min, mothers who have faced surveillance, detention, and intimidation simply for protecting their children and speaking out. Today, we honor these women, and all mothers who refuse to back down in the face of injustice. Their courage inspires the world.

Last week at the @SilveradoPolicy Summit, Chairman @RepMoolenaar joined former Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger for a wide-ranging discussion on U.S.–China strategic competition. From semiconductors and AI to critical minerals, supply chains, export controls, and cyber threats, the conversation underscored the full scope of the challenge posed by the Chinese Communist Party, and the need for a long-term strategy to ensure America’s economic and national security for generations to come. @ChinaSelect remains committed to advancing bipartisan solutions to keep the United States ahead of China in this era of great-power competition.

China demanded censorship at a conference (@rightscon) about censorship, and Zambia complied. This isn’t an isolated incident. Our latest @ChinaSelect report details how CCP-linked mining companies polluted and poisoned Zambian communities while suppressing the truth and intimidating civil society. From environmental coverups to silencing global dialogue, the CCP's playbook is the same. @TheBushCenter bushcenter.org/publications/c…

A $2.5 BILLION chip smuggling scheme tied to AI hardware raises serious concerns. Advanced @nvidia chips, restricted since 2022, were allegedly routed through third-party brokers using @Supermicro Computer systems and may have reached China’s AI sector, including @alibaba_cloud. Export controls are only as strong as their enforcement. Time to strengthen the export control enforcement system. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

China should never have access to America’s best AI chips. That’s why we need strong export controls that: • Protect our cutting‑edge chips and advanced SME • Prevent China’s military buildup • Keep the United States and its allies in the technological lead 🎥 Watch Chairman @RepMoolenaar explain why AI and advanced chips are a national security issue, not just a tech issue.

Coming Soon | Chairman @RepMoolenaar and @RepDebDingell will introduce bipartisan legislation to keep Chinese-connected vehicles off America’s roads. These “smart cars” collect vast amounts of sensitive data, from location to infrastructure, and pose serious national security risks. This bipartisan house bill will mirror Senator @berniemoreno and @SenatorSlotkin's Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 and takes decisive action to protect American workers, industry, and security. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

China is buying up American farmland, and the true cost is much higher than what we see on paper. Chairman @RepMoolenaar's new bill, the Protecting U.S. Farmland and Sensitive Sites from Foreign Adversaries Act, blocks land purchases by China by default unless all national security risks can be fully mitigated, respects and preserves strong state-level laws already in place, and is backed by growing bipartisan support in Congress.
