Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor today to talk about the economic resource warfare that the CCP has launched against the United States. As a former businessowner, I can tell you the CCP continues to steal hundreds of billions of dollars in intellectual property from American companies with no consequence. Under the current weak administration that has lost credibility on the world stage after the failed Afghan withdrawal, they have shown no course of action to combat these issues, but there is a plan now. Thanks to the American people who elected a Republican majority, I am happy to support establishing this select committee to hold the CCP accountable. I am committed to putting us back ahead of the malign Chinese aggressions. While this resolution is just a start, we need to also look at mitigating Chairman Xi's One Belt, One Road initiative and increase domestic production to offset our GDP-to-national-debt ratio while unleashing American energy production and strengthening the U.S. dollar. This bill is a commonsense approach that will put America first and stop adversarial reliance on nations that intend to eliminate the U.S. dollar from being the global currency, cut off Western Hemisphere supply chains, and advance China's goal of hegemony. Let's get this done and put America first. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
