Today, my Select Committee on China revealed U.S. financial institutions propped up companies tied to the CCP military. This is wrong. U.S. banks should not be allowed to fund companies with proven links to the CCP, and help our nation's chief adversary build up its military. foxnews.com/politics/wall-…

🚨BREAKING | A new @ChinaSelect investigative report is out today and the findings are troubling. Our investigation and subsequent report found that @jpmorgan, @BankofAmerica, and @MorganStanley helped Chinese companies tied to the CCP’s military apparatus and forced Uyghur labor raise BILLIONS in global capital markets. Just months after @DeptofWar designated Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (@catl_official), the world’s largest battery maker, as a “Chinese military company,” JPMorgan and Bank of America moved forward with underwriting its Hong Kong IPO, helping the company raise billions in new capital. According to our investigation, the banks proceeded even after CATL was linked to China’s Military-Civil Fusion strategy and despite evidence connecting the company to entities tied to the PLA, China’s defense-industrial base, and forced labor in Xinjiang. The investigation uncovered CATL partnerships and business relationships with blacklisted Chinese defense-linked entities including @Huawei, NORINCO, CETC, @CSSC_global, COMAC, @ChinaMobile_X, and @CN_Nuclear_Corp. The report also details CATL’s ownership stake in Wuhu Shipyard, a key builder of Chinese naval vessels and military equipment, as well as research partnerships tied to the PLA’s National University of Defense Technology and China’s nuclear weapons complex. The Committee found further evidence linking CATL’s supply chain to Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC)-connected entities implicated in forced labor and the Uyghur genocide in Xinjiang. According to the investigation, CATL refused to provide full supply chain audits, while banks proceeded with the deals anyway despite public evidence and internal diligence reports identifying ongoing exposure to forced labor risks. In a separate transaction, Morgan Stanley sponsored the IPO of Zijin Gold even after its parent company and Xinjiang subsidiaries were added to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List. Internal documents showed the firm identified significant sanctions and national security risks and moved forward regardless. Our investigation concluded that Wall Street’s due diligence processes prioritized deal completion over national security and human rights concerns. Policy changes are needed to stop U.S. financial institutions from bankrolling companies tied to the CCP’s military buildup and forced labor system.

Americans lost at least $10 BILLION to China-linked scams in 2024, and the threat is growing. Today, Chairman @RepMoolenaar laid out how China-linked criminal networks are operating at industrial scale powered by illicit finance, human trafficking, and weak governance in Southeast Asia. This is not isolated fraud. It’s a national security challenge, and Congress must act.

Chairman @RepMoolenaar: The Chinese Communist Party has never governed Taiwan yet continues to threaten force. The U.S. will stand by its commitments, support Taiwan’s defense, and oppose unilateral attempts to change the status quo.

America’s auto industry is a cornerstone of our economic strength and defense industrial base. Allowing CCP-linked connected vehicles into our market would expose critical systems and supply chains to foreign adversaries. Chairman @RepMoolenaar is leading a bipartisan effort with @RepDebDingell to defend America’s auto industry and national security. The Connected Vehicle Security Act would block adversary-linked technology, safeguard sensitive data, and ensure the future of U.S. manufacturing is built by American workers, not exploited by the CCP. detroitnews.com/story/business…

Chairman @RepMoolenaar is leading with action. Alongside @SenatorBanks, he introduced the Securing Innovation and Research from Adversaries Act to block taxpayer-funded research from flowing to entities tied to China’s military and intelligence networks. The bill bans federally funded collaborations, including joint research, data sharing, and personnel exchanges, with anyone on U.S. government restricted lists, closing loopholes that have allowed sensitive technology to be exploited.

President Trump has made it clear that the United States is willing to work with China, but we can’t ignore reality. While President Xi talks about “partners, not rivals,” China is undermining us with Iran and Russia, stealing American technology, cheating our workers, and helping fuel the fentanyl crisis. America is pursuing peace through strength, now we need concrete action from China, not just words.

The CCP is running a sophisticated PR campaign, but their own people can’t question the narrative. Our Taiwan policy hasn’t changed, and we’re staying firm. China must stop enabling Russia and Iran if it wants fair trade and a more peaceful world.

Chinese connected vehicles are a threat to our economic and national security. That's why I introduced a bipartisan bill with @RepDebDingell to prevent the CCP's auto tech from coming to America. Thanks to @the535news for inviting me to speak about this critical legislation.

Connected vehicles aren’t just cars, they’re rolling data hubs capable of collecting sensitive personal and operational information. Under Chinese law, companies like @BYDCompany and #CATL can be compelled to hand that data over to the Chinese Communist Party. That’s not a hypothetical risk; it’s a direct national security threat. The bipartisan Connected Vehicle Security Act introduced by Chairman @RepMoolenaar and @RepDebDingell takes action by banning Chinese-linked vehicles, software, and hardware from entering the U.S. market, protecting Americans’ data and ensuring our infrastructure isn’t vulnerable to foreign adversaries. cnbc.com/2026/05/12/tru…

UPCOMING HEARING | Crime, Corruption, and Power: The Rise of the CCP-Linked Scam Networks Targeting Americans and Threatening U.S. Security Witnesses: @HarvardAsia's @jdanielsims @GI_TOC's @Jason_Tower79 @OpShamrock's Erin West Watch live on Tuesday, May 19 at 10AM here: youtube.com/watch?v=Cgc1yP…

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…

“Food security is national security, and we cannot allow foreign adversaries like China to buy up American farmland near our most sensitive military and critical infrastructure sites.” - @RepMoolenaar

RT @ChinaSelect: A would-be spy offered a staffer on @ChinaSelect $10,000 for insider information on U.S. policy. Our staffer's response?…

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 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.

The CCP’s abuses are not isolated, they are systemic. As highlighted by Senators @SenRickScott and @SenJeffMerkley, Tibetans face repression mirroring what Uyghurs endure: imprisonment, forced assimilation, and the destruction of identity and faith. Meanwhile, pro-democracy voices like Jimmy Lai remain imprisoned for exercising fundamental freedoms. The U.S. must continue to lead by exposing these abuses, standing with victims, and ensuring the CCP is held accountable on the world stage. townhall.com/columnists/ter…

We don’t want China to win the AI race and use it for military power. Chairman @RepMoolenaar supports @CommerceGov's new export restrictions on Chinese chipmaker Hua Hong to protect America’s technological edge and military supremacy.
