American leadership ensures global stability. We must use all possible diplomatic tools to partner with our allies and further the interests of the American people. We must also hold countries and organizations accountable for their actions and use sanctions when necessary to show the resolve of United States to stand up to rogue regimes that wish to harm our country.

“I am proud to support the brave members of our military with higher pay and more resources for their families. This legislation will ensure our men and women in uniform have the support they need to carry out their missions. It will also save taxpayer dollars by insisting our military leadership focuses on protecting the country, and not on promoting woke diversity programs. The border crisis demands attention as well. That is why this legislation directs the Department of Defense to work with Congress to finish the wall on the southern border, and it fully funds a border deployment for the National Guard,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“The CCP and its affiliates stop at nothing to surveil, intimidate, and threaten people they do not like. This year alone, the CCP has sent the spy balloon to spy on our military, operated secret police stations inside the United States, and now this major cyberattack on the U.S. government has been revealed. All this evidence shows why it would be a bad idea to allow the subsidiary of a company that pledges allegiance to the CCP to build and operate a factory in Mecosta County,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“With the Biden administration issuing this new travel warning, you have to wonder why state and local officials continue to advocate for a deal with a subsidiary of CCP-affiliated Gotion High Tech in Mecosta County. This is another example of how the CCP is not a reliable business partner,” added Moolenaar.

“The WHO’s decision to add North Korea to its executive board is just the latest disgrace from an organization that has a long history of politicizing its mission and siding with dictators and authoritarian regimes. I support legislation that will require the U.S. to leave the WHO and end taxpayer funding for the organization. We cannot be a part of an organization that elects North Korea to its executive board,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"President Tsai's bipartisan meetings this week have been crucial for the relationship between Taiwan and the United States. The people of Taiwan are strong partners for peace, stability, and economic growth," said Moolenaar.

"As the Chinese Communist Party tries to hide the origins of COVID and blame others, the American people deserve to know how the pandemic began," said Moolenaar, a member of the House Select Committee on China. "Transparency in our government is one of the many traits that sets America apart from China’s oppressive government and we are at a pivotal moment in our nation’s history with the CCP. The American people should know the evidence that has been gathered on the origins of COVID-19.”

"Biden’s proclamations about the State of the Union are out of touch with Michigan families who are struggling to get by. In Biden’s second year, inflation hit a four-decade high, gas cost $5.00 a gallon, China encroached on our airspace, students were left behind, and the border fell further into crisis," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "It is time to change course and get America back on track. I am fighting for American energy independence, responsible spending, lower inflation, and to ensure the government keeps the promises made to our seniors."

"The Biden administration knew about the Chinese Community Party's spy balloon a week ago. It then allowed the balloon to travel across the U.S., collecting information, before finally taking it down. Those seven days of weakness and inaction jeopardized our national security. The balloon could have been stopped after it was first spotted and posed minimal threat to the public," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on this committee as the work we do will affect Michiganders and all Americans for years to come. China has been actively working to weaken America. It is buying U.S. farmland, stealing inventions, jeopardizing the health of every person in the world, and building up its military while threatening its neighbors. I look forward to working with my colleagues to address all of these issues, as well as our nation’s supply chain concerns, in order to better prepare America for the challenges from the Chinese Communist Party,” said Moolenaar.

"The Chinese government is actively working to weaken the United States and the Biden administration needs to do more to stand up to China’s aggression. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve's purpose is to make sure our country has the oil we need in the event of a national emergency, and that is why I voted to make sure none of that oil is sold to China,” said Moolenaar.
