Rep. Webster Votes to Hold China Accountable
Washington, D.C. -
Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, today voted to pass three pieces of legislation that strengthen the economic and national security of the United States against the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). "The Chinese Communist Party is a direct threat to our national and economic security," said Rep. Webster. "For decades, China has taken advantage of the United States by offshoring our jobs, stealing our intellectual property, and threatening freedom and international trade worldwide. These bills put American first by securing our supply chains, protecting American innovation, and defending our nation's values against the malign influence of the CCP."Key Highlights of the Bills:
H.R. 1398, the Protecting America's Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act: Reestablishes the Trump-era 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. 9456, the Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act: Strengthens protection of U.S. agricultural land and biotechnology from foreign investments from adversarial nations like China, ensuring our food security remains in American hands.
H.R. 1425, the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act: Prevents international pandemic agreements negotiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) from being implemented without Senate review, protecting the sovereignty of the United States against influence by the CCP in global health policies.
