WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party released a statement today regarding the appointment of Congressman Ben Cline (R-VA) to serve on the Select Committee.
“I welcome Speaker Johnson’s announcement that Congressman Ben Cline will serve on the Select Committee. Congressman Cline has years of experience on the Judiciary and Appropriations committees, and he has been clear-eyed and vocal on the national security threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. I look forward to working with him on this important issue,” stated Moolenaar.
Congressman Cline expressed his thoughts on his new role: “I am honored to be appointed to the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. China is an existential threat to America and its allies. The Biden administration’s weak policies on China have only empowered and emboldened the CCP, affecting everything from national security to economic stability and technological advancement. Now more than ever, we must respond with tough policies that tactically confront the CCP at home and abroad and safeguard our nation’s interests. I am grateful to Speaker Johnson for this privilege, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to counter the multifaceted threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party.”
