Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, our Nation is facing a critical point as we discern whether we will lead or whether we will follow in 21st century innovation. The Chinese Communist Party, following years of underhanded practices, including cheating and even outright theft, is poised to gain global dominance in the technology and telecommunications sectors. Their ultimate goal is controlling critical market segments and even weaponizing the global supply chains for medical equipment, weapons, and other critical electronics. Through pawns like Huawei and ZTE, this regime is seeking to dominate next-generation technology like artificial intelligence, semiconductor production, quantum computing, 5G, and beyond. Funded directly by the Chinese Communist Party, these companies are free to operate however they please, distorting the global market and edging out free-market competitors in their mission to monopolize the industry. If we do not intercede, Huawei and ZTE could stand to be the only companies left with the ability to innovate. This is a daunting threat as we look past 5G to 6G.
