Chairman John Moolenaar of Michigan expressed his support for the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) following its passage in the House. In a statement, Moolenaar highlighted the legislation's commitment to U.S. military personnel and its focus on addressing threats from China.

"This legislation is a significant commitment to our brave men and women in uniform and refocuses military leadership on its mission to defend the American people and deter military aggression posed by our foremost adversary, the Chinese Communist Party," he stated. The bill aims to enhance servicemembers' quality of life with a 14.5% pay raise for junior enlisted members, remove Chinese-made drones from U.S. airspace, and protect American research from Chinese influence. Additionally, it seeks to cut $31 billion in inefficient programs.

The NDAA incorporates several provisions concerning China that were advocated by Select Committee members. These include full funding for the Joint Training Team (JTT) to bolster partner forces against Chinese aggression and steps towards adding DJI, a Chinese drone manufacturer, to the FCC's covered list—effectively barring future operations of DJI products in the United States.

Further measures involve establishing a National Security Capital Forum for strategic investment facilitation among private sector entities, government personnel, and international allies; restricting Department of Defense collaboration with certain Chinese entities; prohibiting DoD support for entertainment companies complying with Chinese censorship; and conducting a feasibility study on defense agreements with Taiwan.

Moolenaar also mentioned upcoming national security legislation such as the BIOSECURE Act and outbound investment restrictions that he anticipates will be addressed soon.
