🚨BREAKING | A new @ChinaSelect investigative report is out today and the findings are troubling. Our investigation and subsequent report found that @jpmorgan, @BankofAmerica, and @MorganStanley helped Chinese companies tied to the CCP’s military apparatus and forced Uyghur labor raise BILLIONS in global capital markets. Just months after @DeptofWar designated Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (@catl_official), the world’s largest battery maker, as a “Chinese military company,” JPMorgan and Bank of America moved forward with underwriting its Hong Kong IPO, helping the company raise billions in new capital. According to our investigation, the banks proceeded even after CATL was linked to China’s Military-Civil Fusion strategy and despite evidence connecting the company to entities tied to the PLA, China’s defense-industrial base, and forced labor in Xinjiang. The investigation uncovered CATL partnerships and business relationships with blacklisted Chinese defense-linked entities including @Huawei, NORINCO, CETC, @CSSC_global, COMAC, @ChinaMobile_X, and @CN_Nuclear_Corp. The report also details CATL’s ownership stake in Wuhu Shipyard, a key builder of Chinese naval vessels and military equipment, as well as research partnerships tied to the PLA’s National University of Defense Technology and China’s nuclear weapons complex. The Committee found further evidence linking CATL’s supply chain to Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC)-connected entities implicated in forced labor and the Uyghur genocide in Xinjiang. According to the investigation, CATL refused to provide full supply chain audits, while banks proceeded with the deals anyway despite public evidence and internal diligence reports identifying ongoing exposure to forced labor risks. In a separate transaction, Morgan Stanley sponsored the IPO of Zijin Gold even after its parent company and Xinjiang subsidiaries were added to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List. Internal documents showed the firm identified significant sanctions and national security risks and moved forward regardless. Our investigation concluded that Wall Street’s due diligence processes prioritized deal completion over national security and human rights concerns. Policy changes are needed to stop U.S. financial institutions from bankrolling companies tied to the CCP’s military buildup and forced labor system.

On America's 250th Anniversary, the contrast is clear: our Founding Fathers enshrined freedom as the bedrock of our Constitution — and that commitment has made us the most successful nation in history. The Chinese Communist Party? They've built their system on the exact opposite principle. Their own leaders have said it. Their actions confirm it.

Today, and in the days ahead, the Select Committee will be celebrating America's 250th anniversary and the values we hold dear. As Chairman @RepMoolenaar says, "These rights are from our Creator, not the state, and government exists only with the consent of the governed." This is vastly different than the oppression and tyranny of the CCP.

China’s decision this week is further escalation of its efforts to manipulate and control rare earth minerals. It is again weaponizing the critical mineral supply chain and trying to make the entire world dependent on it in order to advance its authoritarian ambitions. Thankfully, the Trump Administration and Congress are taking action to increase American production of the minerals we need for our nation’s future. washingtonpost.com/national-…

For far too long, a China-linked espionage group has been quietly stealing sensitive information in America’s academic, medical, and military research communities. Protecting our nation’s research from our adversaries is crucial and we must be vigilant against cybersecurity threats. Business, governments, and universities must do more to protect vital research. cloud.google.com/blog/topics…

To boost American robotics, Chairman @RepMoolenaar has introduced the bipartisan Guarding the U.S. Against Adversarial Robotics Dominance (GUARD) Act. This legislation would require the U.S. government to check Chinese robots for national security risks, automatically block Chinese military linked robots from the U.S., and removes adversarial robotics out of our sensitive manufacturing lines.
