“Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9151. For years, the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, has violated U.S. trade laws flagrantly and victimized American workers, companies, and consumers through trade crimes like dumping, transshipment, duty evasion, and fraud. In fact, there is an entire CCP-sponsored industry that publicly boasts it can help Chinese products illegally flood U.S. markets despite American antidumping protections. These criminal activities have forced far too many American companies to shutter their doors and countless American workers to lose their jobs. Our bipartisan bill establishes a new unit at the DOJ to criminally prosecute these crimes, whether it is dumping below-market iron and steel, flooding our market with illegal vapes, or violating the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, this new DOJ unit will send a clear message that these illegal and criminal trade practices must end now. As ranking member of the Select Committee on the CCP, I have been proud to work with my colleagues across the aisle on this legislation. I thank Chairman Moolenaar, Mrs. Hinson, my own staff, including Ben Frohman, who has put in yeoman hours on this bill, as well as Ranking Member Nadler and Ranking Member Johnson for their support on the Judiciary Committee. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and the Senate to fully fund this legislation and make sure it is signed into law in this Congress before the new administration takes office.…”
