Today, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul’s resolution, H.Res.104, condemning China over its use of a spy balloon violating U.S. sovereignty. Prior to the resolution’s passage, Chairman McCaul gave the following remarks highlighting this sends a clear, bipartisan signal to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and our adversaries around the world that their malign activity will not be tolerated.
“Last week, the nation watched in shock as a Chinese surveillance balloon traversed much of the United States, including sensitive American military sites like Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana,” McCaul said. That base is one of the three places where our Minuteman III ICBM nuclear missiles are stored. Americans were rightfully, deeply disturbed by this brazen violation of sovereignty by the Chinese Communist Party. H.Res.104, sends a clear, bipartisan message to the CCP and to our adversaries around the world that this kind of aggression will not be tolerated. It tells the world, in one united voice, that our national security is not a partisan issue. We stand together today with one voice as Americans.”
