WTH Live! Are Chinese Companies in the U.S. Trojan Horses for the CCP? Reps. John Moolenaar and Raja Krishnamoorthi Explain

Chinese companies control 80% of the shipping cranes in U.S.
ports. And the People’s Republic of China is now the largest
foreign investor in U.S. shale gas. And Chinese companies
operating in the U.S. are regularly caught stealing American
intellectual property, personal data, and even genomic data. Why
should we care? Because Chinese companies are legally beholden to
the Chinese Communist Party, and have given the CCP the
opportunity to cripple critical American infrastructure in the
event of any confrontation between the U.S. and China. In this
episode of WTH Live! the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House
Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United
States and the Chinese Communist Party outline the threat certain
Chinese companies operating in the U.S. pose to national
security, and how to combat it.
