Hageman Supports Series of Bills to Deter Communist Chinese aggression and Strengthen America’s Competitive Advantage

Washington, DC – This week Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted in favor of several bills to deter Chinese Communist Party influence and aggression. H.R. 1398 - Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act,H.R. 1425 - No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act, H.R. 2864 – Countering CCP Drones Act,H.R. 7980 - End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024, and H.R. 9456 – Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act were all passed by the House of Representatives this week.

Representative Hageman stated, “It is long past time that Chinese Communist aggression against the United States was countered. This week the House of Representatives took action to stop the CCP from impacting our food supply and compromising our national security through ownership of American land, spying on our sensitive military installations, stealing our intellectual property, and influencing health policy through its control of the corrupt WHO. 

“Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office their failed foreign policy of appeasement has diminished our standing on the world stage, emboldened our allies, and plunged the world into multiple conflicts and wars. House Republicans are taking every measure possible to combat the existential threat of the Chinese Communist Party and restore the strength and dominance of the United States.”

Background:

• H.R. 1398 - Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act: This bill Reestablishes a Trump Administration initiative within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice to address espionage by the CCP on U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions. 
• H.R. 1425 - No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act: This legislation ensures that any pandemic-related convention of the World Health Organization that attempts to bind the U.S. must be considered and ratified by the Senate as a treaty. 
• H.R. 2864 – Countering CCP Drones Act: This bill will increase the competitiveness of U.S. drone companies, enhance U.S. national security, and end our reliance on Chinese drones by ending China’s monopoly over our domestic drone market and starting a much-needed transition period to eliminate America’s reliance on CCP-drones.
• H.R. 7980 - End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024:  This legislation prevents the Chinese Communist Party from receiving any taxpayer dollars from subsidies for electric vehicles created by the Biden-Harris Inflation Expansion Act, helping restore security in American manufacturing while combating the existential threat of CCP influence.
• H.R. 9456 – Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act: This bill adds the Secretary of Agriculture to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States for transactions, including land, biotechnology, transportation, storage, and processing, and directs CFIUS to take necessary actions to prohibit the purchase of U.S. agricultural land by foreign adversaries.
