Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China has sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio raising concerns about South Korea's growing alignment with China, which could undermine its own relationship with America. The letter cites increased “[South Korean] semiconductor investment inside [China], and discriminatory treatment of American firms relative to their [China]-linked competitors,” as well as criticism of U.S. forces and dismissive comments on the security situation in Taiwan from South Korean leadership.
In the letter, Moolenaar writes:
Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on the summit between President Donald Trump and CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping:
“Xi Jinping would have liked nothing more than for this summit to surrender America’s advantage in AI, and reverse our Taiwan policy. He left with neither. President Trump was right to keep the meeting’s scope modest and to ignore Xi’s requests for major concessions. That pragmatic strategy recognizes China’s growing aggression, economic warfare, and support for our adversaries will all continue to be long-term challenges.”
Today, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China met with the family of wrongfully detained U.S. citizen Min Zin. Min Zin was detained upon arrival at the airport in Kunming, Yunnan Province, on June 3, 2026. He was lured by a Chinese institution to attend an academic conference. Chinese authorities accused him of espionage and endangering national security. Min Zin's family denies the charges, and the U.S. government has designated him as wrongfully detained under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act.
Today, Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to the National Archives Museum.:
The Connected Vehicle Security Act now has more than 100 cosponsors in the House of Representatives.

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on calls for an agreement with China on AI:
“The Trump Administration is right to limit AI discussion with China to a communication channel for security incidents. The real danger is trusting the CCP. Those advocating we work with the CCP to handcuff American companies should remember that China is engaged in the largest nuclear weapons buildup in history but refuses to engage in arms control talks. They should remember China’s catastrophically unsafe experiments with pathogens, and that the CCP exports its surveillance technology to dictators around the globe. Most importantly, they need to remember that the CCP refuses to honor its agreements and lies to the world—from COVID’s origins, to Hong Kong’s autonomy, to internationally agreed upon borders.
The Select Committee on China has released a video about CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping ahead of his visit to the United States.
The Select Committee on China has released a video on China’s support for Iran and how it helps the regime in Tehran evade oil sanctions and use satellite imagery to strike U.S. troops.
Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China (SCC) and SCC member Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY) led a resolution marking the eighth anniversary of the forcible disappearance of Dr. Gulshan Abbas by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Dr. Abbas, a Uyghur medical doctor who was sentenced in 2019 during a secret trial to a 20-year prison term because her Uyghur American sister, criticized the CCP at a public event in the United States. The resolution calls on the Trump administration to prioritize Dr. Abbas’s immediate and unconditional release.
The Department of Education and the Department of State launched two new Section 117 foreign funding investigations into Duke University and the University of North Dakota following concerns that the universities submitted incomplete, inaccurate, and late disclosures required under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act. This action comes on the heels of the Department of War’s letter to 30 U.S. universities, including Duke, requiring them to address research security lapses and review their relationships with foreign entities of concern.
Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on the Trump Administration’s agreement on Greenland with Denmark:
“Permanently controlling Greenland’s security is a tremendous victory for President Trump and the American people. Greenland is home to critical minerals that will power the future and it can never fall under the control of China or Russia. China has often tried to stake false illegitimate claims in the Arctic and this agreement will ensure it never has a foothold in Greenland.”
Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI), Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-MA), and Congresswoman Young Kim (R-CA), alongside Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Ted Budd (R-NC), John Curtis (R-UT), and Adam Schiff (D-CA), have introduced a resolution condemning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its arbitrary or wrongful detention of American academics on baseless charges. The resolution urges the United States government to prioritize the safe return of all American citizens unlawfully or wrongfully detained in China, including Dr. Youlin Chen and American scholar Min Zin, among other measures.
