“Vice President Harris has the Constitutional responsibility to preside over the Senate and she did not show up for work today. She had the opportunity to publicly stand behind Israel in its fight against Hamas and it was a disgraceful decision for her not to attend,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, who attended Netanyahu’s address on Wednesday afternoon. “Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech reminded everyone of what is at stake in the war against Hamas terrorists. Over nine months ago, Hamas slaughtered families, raped women, and kidnapped infants. Today, it still holds more than 100 hostages, including five living Americans and three dead Americans whose bodies it refuses to release to their families. I call on all Americans to join me in standing with Israel in its fight against Hamas and the dangerous leaders of Iran,” added Moolenaar.

“American tax dollars should never be used to further the Chinese Communist Party’s hopes to dominate key technologies at our expense. That’s why I am proud to co-lead the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act which would stop the Department of Homeland Security from using American taxpayer dollars to purchase Gotion, CATL, or other Chinese batteries. Our military has already banned these batteries and DHS should do the same,” said Moolenaar.

“The 2025 NDAA is a victory for the American people and our courageous servicemembers. It’s also bad news for the Chinese Communist Party. I’m proud that the House has taken decisive action to enhance the Department of Defense’s ability to identify Chinese companies working on behalf of the Chinese military, prevent future Chinese drones from dominating our air space, and advance American research security, among many other accomplishments. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate on this important legislation that will keep our country safe and make sure the United States is able to deter the mounting threats from Xi Jinping,” said Moolenaar. 

“CFIUS was created with the intent of protecting America and stopping transactions that pose a risk to our national security. A lot has changed since CFIUS was created and unfortunately, it has been left behind. My legislation will increase Congressional oversight so the problems at CFIUS will be fixed and the committee can once again protect the American people from foreign investments that pose a national security risk," said Congressman Moolenaar.

“The Select Committee has uncovered indisputable evidence that Gotion High Tech and CATL have supply chains that are deeply connected to forced labor and the ongoing genocide of Uyghurs in China. That is why the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force must immediately add Gotion High Tech and CATL to the UFLPA Entity List and block the shipments of these companies from entering the United States. The American people expect companies in the U.S. to avoid all involvement with the Chinese Communist Party’s campaign of genocide,” said Chairman Moolenaar.

“President Biden and Vice President Harris claim to be looking out for American workers, but just three days ago they signed off on new rules that will let Chinese automakers qualify for tax incentives paid for by the very same American workers. It is hypocritical and the Biden administration should ban Chinese companies from qualifying for tax credits,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, the Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP.

“Iran is the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world, an avowed enemy of the United States, and on April 13 it launched an unprecedented attack on Israel. For state and local officials to give Gotion millions of dollars, knowing Gotion will send its profits back to China, and possibly use the money for business deals with Iran is simply wrong. This is yet another reason Gotion’s plans in Mecosta County should be ended for good,” said Moolenaar.
