House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party

The House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party is a select committee established in January 2023 to examine American economic and security competition with China. The committee focuses on a broad range of issues including technology competition, intellectual property protection, supply chain security, critical minerals, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and Taiwan. It also examines the influence of the Chinese Communist Party within the United States, including foreign investment in American agricultural land and research institutions.\n\nAs a select committee, this panel does not have the traditional bill referral process of standing committees. Instead, it conducts investigations, holds hearings, and produces reports that inform broader congressional policy. The committee has issued legislative recommendations and published reports on topics ranging from Chinese control of critical mineral markets to how U.S. universities contribute to China's military advancement. Recent hearings have addressed China's automotive industry, pharmaceutical supply chains, cyber threats, and pressure on Taiwan.\n\nChairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) leads the committee, with Ranking Member Ro Khanna (D-CA) representing the minority. The committee has 23 members total. The committee operates on a bipartisan basis and has produced investigations and policy recommendations aimed at strengthening U.S. economic and national security in competition with China.
