WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) expressed concerns over the recent revelation that Huawei has been secretly funding research at American universities like Harvard through an independent foundation.
In a statement, Chairman Moolenaar stated, "Huawei has shown time and time again that its presence in America is a national security risk, and now here it is again, tricking Americans into giving up their latest innovations and research to a company at the beck and call of the Chinese Communist Party."
The Chairman called for immediate action in response to this news, emphasizing the need to suspend all export licenses to Huawei and consider further measures such as placing Huawei on the Specifically Designated National (SDN) list.
The implications of Huawei's secret funding of research at American universities raise concerns about national security and intellectual property protection, prompting calls for stricter regulations and oversight in collaborations with foreign entities.
Chairman Moolenaar's statement underscores the growing apprehension surrounding Huawei's activities in the United States and the potential risks they pose to American interests.
As the situation continues to unfold, stakeholders and policymakers are likely to engage in discussions on how best to address the issue and safeguard American research and innovation from undue foreign influence.
