"The Chinese Communist Party will stop at nothing to gain an advantage on the United States. That includes setting up CCP police stations around the country to undermine American security and harass people who speak out against China. It is unacceptable for these stations to be active in the US and the FBI must provide answers to the American people and act swiftly to defend the country," said Moolenaar. 

"Today's legislation will end Biden’s reckless spending and save taxpayer dollars. Our country’s debt requires us to look at ideas to reduce spending and choose the most important priorities. COVID funding was approved two years ago as emergency spending. Now that the emergency is over, it is just common sense to stop that spending," said Moolenaar. 

"To take millions of dollars from Michigan taxpayers and give it to a subsidiary of a company that pledges allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party is a historic mistake by the Michigan legislature. This proposed facility will be 100 miles from Camp Grayling where the Michigan National Guard has trained military partners from Taiwan to prepare for possible CCP aggression. Yet, Michigan's state government leaders are siding with CCP-affiliated companies," said Moolenaar.

"Treasury's response fails to provide information on CCP investment in Michigan and reflects how the federal review process is broken. During the 46 days it took to craft this insufficient reply, CFIUS could have conducted a review of the CCP-affiliated Gotion project in Mecosta County. The lack of transparency in this process is concerning and people should be able to know that a company that is trying to come into their community is being reviewed for its ties,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

"Our country’s debt requires us to look at ideas to reduce spending and choose the most important priorities. My legislation eliminates funding that was approved two years ago as emergency spending. Now that the emergency is over, it is just common sense to stop that spending,” said Moolenaar.

"Democrats and Republicans came together to repeal President Biden's rule because it goes too far and allows bureaucrats in Washington D.C. to regulate the puddles and ditches on farmers’ fields. Now, Biden is the only one standing in the way and forcing his overreaching regulations on farmers," said Moolenaar. "I voted to override Biden’s veto so farmers can focus on growing food instead of worrying about red tape."

"The Chinese Communist Party is actively working to influence our education system and children. Yet, Education Secretary Cardona is unaware and unprepared on how to counter CCP influence efforts, whether in the form of Confucius Institutes at colleges or in taking a stand against TikTok, a CCP spyware app. Cardona and the Biden administration need to wake up and take the CCP's efforts to influence U.S. education seriously," said Moolenaar.

“Today’s arrests highlight how the Chinese Communist Party uses resources in America to advance its agenda and harass people who speak out against the CCP. This is another example of why state and local leaders should not allow the subsidiary of Gotion High Tech to build a massive facility in Michigan. A company that pledges allegiance to the CCP will use all its resources, including subsidiaries, to carry out the CCP's agenda,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, a member of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
