Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024. The American people do not want to fund our enemies. The American people do not want CCP-affiliated companies setting up shop in their towns and neighborhoods. The American people do not want to be held hostage to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party's supply of critical minerals. Under the current regulations brought about by the Inflation Reduction Act, these nightmares have become our reality. The End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act is an important start toward this objective. It aligns with the goal of my NO GOTION Act, which would end the IRA's subsidies for CCP-affiliated companies. If we want to encourage American energy innovation, we cannot be subsidizing CCP companies at the same time. Funding CCP-aligned companies makes the United States weaker and the CCP stronger, and we need to end it.
