From rigging IPO approvals and financing decisions to accepting gifts, travel, and other benefits, the allegations against former Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Yi Huiman expose how political favoritism distorts China’s financial system. Accused of abusing his authority for personal gain and even “shirking responsibility” while implementing state policy, Yi’s case highlights systemic corruption under the Chinese Communist Party, creating real risks for global investors and market stability. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

Over 1,100 @TSA officers have quit since the DHS shutdown began - and temporary funding runs out on Saturday. Fewer officers. Longer lines. Greater risk. @DHSgov needs to be responsibly and comprehensively funded, NOW. bit.ly/4tGisPZ

Through its “united front” system, China has built a network of more than 2,000 organizations across democracies, including over 900 in the U.S., spanning business groups, student orgs, cultural associations, and media outlets. They cultivate relationships, influence policy debates (including opposition to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan), and can even create pathways for illicit tech transfer, like efforts to export advanced chips to Chinese military-linked entities. Most remain unregistered under FARA. Transparency without enforcement isn’t enough, we need real oversight to defend our institutions. warontherocks.com/beijings-unite…

Tonight, a gunman targeted the White House Correspondents Dinner attended by President Trump. I am grateful Secret Service took action before he could do any harm and I am praying for the officer who was injured. I will continue to work in Congress to demand accountability and support additional resources to protect President Trump. It is long overdue to reduce the temperature of our politics.

Last year, Chairman @RepMoolenaar warned the City of Philadelphia and @PhillyMayor against raising the Chinese Communist Party's Five-Star Red Flag above city hall. Now, new reports confirm coordination between event organizers and Chinese consulate officials. This is exactly why @ChinaSelect continues to call attention to the CCP's use of United Front networks to influence local governments and shape narratives in the U.S. This is not just about symbolism. It’s about how Beijing uses access, partnerships, and community organizations to expand its influence inside the United States. American cities must remain vigilant against foreign influence operations masquerading as cultural exchange. dominotheory.com/beijings-diplo…

The Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act just passed @HouseForeignGOP. Chairman @RepMoolenaar on why America needs the MATCH Act now! ⬇️

Chairman @RepMoolenaar 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 bill establishes a rolling technical threshold (RTT) for export tied directly to an adversary’s demonstrated ability to produce advanced chips at scale. The legislation also includes strict safeguards to prevent adversaries from closing the gap with the United States. License applications will be subject to a presumption of denial if exports would cause adversary-controlled AI hardware to exceed five percent of the total U.S. AI hardware base. More on the legislation here: chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

Chairman @RepMoolenaar is demanding answers from @ushcaorg over concerns it may be enabling CCP-linked influence in the U.S. @ChinaSelect's letter highlights Heartland China's ties to United Front-linked groups like the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), an entity @StateDept warns targets U.S. state and local leaders, along with partnerships with CCP-linked entities including the China-United States Exchange Foundation (@CUSEF_HK) and programs involving U.S. officials that may advance Beijing’s political objectives. Chairman Moolenaar is calling for transparency and urging Heartland China to sever ties with United Front actors. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

OPENING STATEMENT | At today's hearing, Chairman @RepMoolenaar made it clear: America must act to protect its AI and technological edge. "The pattern is clear. China is dependent on our tech stack to continue their AI development. China is willing to buy what they can, and steal what they cannot, to advance their AI ambitions. The task for Congress is to pass legislation that will stop China’s multiprong effort to legally and illegally acquire America’s tech stack to use it against us."

Anyone in the Muskegon River flood plain below Croton Dam should evacuate as water levels continue to rise, authorities in Newaygo County warn. News 8 at saw six gates open at the Croton Dam this morning. Authorities stressed the dam itself is not at risk:

Congratulations to former @ChinaSelect member @MichelleSteelCA on her nomination to be the next U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea. 🇺🇸🇰🇷 Former Congresswoman Steel understands the importance of the U.S.-South Korea alliance, the challenges our allies in the Indo-Pacific face, and the dangers of CCP expansion, aggression, and coercion. This alliance is critical in maintaining security in the Pacific, and South Korea continues to be a strong defense partner of the United States.

A new @TheJusticeDept indictment reveals a sophisticated network moving restricted U.S. AI technology and chips to China using deception and covert logistics. From repackaging servers in unmarked boxes to staging fake inventory, this is industrial-scale evasion totaling billions of dollars. This Thursday’s @ChinaSelect hearing, “China’s Campaign to Steal America’s AI Edge,” will examine how the CCP exploits loopholes when it can’t compete fairly. justice.gov/opa/pr/three-c…

Hearing Notice | On Thursday, @ChinaSelect will have a hearing entitled, "China's Campaign to Steal America's AI Edge." The discussion will focus on what China can buy vs. what China attempts to steal when legal acquisition falls short. Topics will include SME and AI chips, foundry evasion, chip smuggling, adversarial distillation of frontier U.S. models, and more. Witnesses include: @DAlperovitch from @SilveradoPolicy @kyleichan from @BrookingsInst @YusufSMahmood from @A1Policy Watch here: @ChinaSelect/streams" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@ChinaSelect/s…

Chairmen @RepMoolenaar of @ChinaSelect and @RepJasonSmith of @WaysandMeansGOP have written a joint letter to the @IRSnews and @USTreasury requesting they investigate potential abuse of tax-exempt status by organizations linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). As laid out in the letter, we've found at least 53 organizations have engaged in prohibited political campaign activity, and at least 19 were in clear violation of federal law, despite explicitly denying political involvement to the IRS. Hometown associations must remain community-driven, not weaponized by foreign adversaries to influence American democracy. More here: chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

New report from @ChinaSelect | "Crude Intentions" This new investigation uncovers how China buys oil from Iran, Russia, and Venezuela – three countries that are sanctioned by the United States.  The report also presents new information about China’s use of shadow fleet tankers, at times manned by military and intelligence personnel, to acquire tens of millions of barrels of crude oil at a deep discount to market prices. "For purposes of this report, the “shadow fleet” serves as the umbrella term for all vessels engaged in deceptive operations to circumvent sanctions or oversight. As of March 2026, @Kpler, a commodity data and analytics firm that tracks global vessel movements, cargo flows, and trade patterns using satellite imagery, AIS signals, and machine learning, tracks 2,291 such tankers comprising roughly 16.8 percent of active commercial wet cargo vessels above 5,000 gross tonnage. Approximately 45 percent are formally sanctioned." The bottom line: sanctions do not isolate adversaries but instead they consolidate an oil system centered on China. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

Over the next several days, Christians in the United States and around the world will gather at church and within their religious communities to commemorate Maundy Thursday, reflect on Good Friday, and celebrate Easter. Meanwhile, Christians in China face persecution, state regulation, and forced Sinicization. Pastor Jin's story highlights the ongoing struggle of Christians in China fighting for basic religious freedoms. The Chinese Communist Party must release Pastor Jin and all individuals persecuted for exercising their religious freedom under authoritarian rule. @GraceJDrexel

This case is a wake-up call. Export-controlled U.S. AI chips were targeted for illegal transfer to China through shell companies and deception. The CCP is racing to dominate AI, and chip smuggling is one way they’re trying to close the gap. The #ChipSecurityAct gives us the tools to protect America’s AI dominance and keep critical technology out of our adversaries' hands. justice.gov/opa/pr/chinese…

“It’s not acceptable to have this shutdown.” WATCH: @RepMoolenaar at the Detroit Metro Airport on funding DHS: “Democrats'…need to fund the Homeland Security that keeps us safe.”

Today, I led a letter with China Select Committee Chairman @RepMoolenaar to @CommerceGov Secretary @howardlutnick regarding the ongoing Section 232 Investigation into polysilicon. Today, Michigan leads in the production of semiconductor grade polysilicon, but that is under sustained pressure from China’s economic coercion. A strong, durable 232 remedy must fully address the scope of the threat.

The AI race is here—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. At the @HillValleyForum, Chairman @RepMoolenaar made it clear: the U.S. must use every tool available to win. We can’t let our own technology be used to undermine us. 🇺🇸
