WASHINGTON DC — In case you missed it, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party joined Fox News over the weekend at the Reagan National Defense Forum.

Chairman Moolenaar addressed the growing CCP threat to the U.S. homeland, the dilapidated U.S. defense industrial base, and malign CCP activities targeting our partners in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines.

Moolenaar on the American public's view of the growing CCP threat:

"The American people see that China is becoming increasingly more aggressive at home and abroad. They are violating trade policies. They are building up a defense threatening Taiwan and their neighbors. They're spying in the United States of America and committing tremendous human rights violations- a Uyghur genocide. I think people are becoming more aware of that. As President Reagan said, 'peace through strength.' The American people want to have the resolve to ensure that this doesn't continue."

Moolenaar on the American defense industrial base:

"We have concerns about the strength of our defense industrial base [in a] prolonged war against someone like China. We have the greatest military, the strongest fighting force, but unfortunately, there's been a lot of atrophy in our defense base. It's been stretched with conflicts in Ukraine as well as the Middle East. We need to rebuild our military industrial base so that we can deter aggression against Taiwan and others in the region."

Moolenaar on the CCP's aggression in Southeast Asia:

"They're the bully in the neighborhood, whether it's Taiwan, Japan, Korea, or the Philippines. You see an increasingly aggressive China. They're expanding their malign influence around the world."
