Michael Waltz: “We know the activities of the Chinese Communist Party under the leadership of Xi, the worst genocide since World War II…”

“We know the activities of the Chinese Communist Party under the leadership of Xi, the worst genocide since World War II, not just according to the United States--multiple administrations of the United States, but also according to the U.N.-- Hong Kong, South China Sea, threats to India, and threats to Taiwan. Xi is telling his country to prepare for war. Here at home, we have the cornering of critical supply chains and dependencies on China that is being done deliberately as they steal their way to the top through our intellectual property, spying on the Federal Reserve, flooding our key institutions, including academia, with money, buying up farmland. Mr. Speaker, this is a whole-of-government, whole-of-society challenge that we have never before faced in American history. That is why we need a committee like this. That is why we need a committee that spans all of these jurisdictions, and we certainly need the leadership of my good friend and colleague, Representative Mike Gallagher. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1315”
