Rep. Roy's statement on the creation of the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party

WASHINGTON — Rep. Roy issued the following statement after voting for H.Res. 11 Tuesday afternoon:

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is one of the greatest geopolitical threats that our country faces. From the CCP’s coverup of COVID-19, silencing of whistleblowers like Dr. Li Wenliang, aggressive theft of American intellectual property, rampant human rights violations, increased aggression toward Taiwan, growing influence in South America, and acquisition of US farmland – it is long past time Congress formally organize to counter this threat. I am proud to support Speaker McCarthy’s initiative to establish the Select Committee on China and look forward to what this committee will accomplish under the direction of my friend Rep. Gallagher.
