WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party released a statement following a new report by the Hong Kong Democracy Council and Students for a Free Tibet. The report, titled "Exporting Repression: Attacks on Protesters During Xi Jinping’s Visit to San Francisco in November 2023," details alleged CCP-directed attacks on activists.
“The CCP-directed attacks on human rights activists during Secretary General Xi’s visit to San Francisco last November were an outrageous violation of American sovereignty and the values we all hold dear. This thuggery — also known as transnational repression — has no place in America. I thank the Hong Kong Democracy Council and Students for a Free Tibet for reporting these horrific incidents and call on the FBI and the SFPD to hold the perpetrators accountable. Congress must also act to give law enforcement additional tools to prosecute these crimes. The CCP cannot be allowed to bring its Orwellian model of totalitarian control to American soil,” stated Moolenaar.
