Congressman John Moolenaar Chairman of the Select Committee on the CCP | Official Website
Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has responded to recent reports of three individuals with links to the British Parliament being arrested for allegedly spying for China. In his statement, Moolenaar criticized the British government’s previous handling of similar cases and its approval of a large new Chinese embassy in London.
“The British government’s failure to properly prosecute alleged spies last fall, coupled with its approval of China’s mega embassy only emboldens the CCP’s espionage activities in the UK. As one of our closest security partners with access to American intelligence on China, the UK’s commitment to protecting sensitive information must be beyond doubt. These cases should be prosecuted thoroughly, and the UK should rescind its approval of the mega embassy," Moolenaar said.
The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is a bipartisan committee within the U.S. House of Representatives that examines economic and security challenges posed by China while developing policy recommendations (official website). The committee also proposes legislation aimed at improving U.S. competitiveness against China (official website).
