Dr. Foxx, thank you so much. You are doing such a great job as chairman of Education and the Workforce. Thank you for the opportunity to serve on that committee. Thank you for highlighting the decades-long campaign that has manifested into bigger problems for America by the Chinese Communist Party. America's education system is being purchased and manipulated by China. Since 2013, $12 billion has flooded in from foreign sources to U.S. colleges and universities, including more than a billion from communist China. Rather than forcing colleges and universities to comply with reporting requirements under section 117 of the Higher Education Act, this administration is playing into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party by refusing to pursue enforcement. For the past 2 years, Mr. Speaker, this administration has been trying to distract the American people of the very real threat China poses with its far-left policies. That ends tonight. Up next to help spread the word of exactly how bad an actor China is, is my friend and colleague, the gentleman from California. He is the chairman of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. Mr. Speaker, I yield 8 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Kiley).
