ICYMI: Krishnamoorthi, Moolenaar Speak at The Brookings Institution on How Congress Will Approach U.S.-PRC Relations

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday, February 25, Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the U.S. and the CCP spoke at the John L. Thornton China Center at The Brookings Institution to discuss how Congress will approach the challenges faced in relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. 

“Our committee has become an honest clearinghouse for a lot of the best ideas in Congress on both sides with regard to the technological, economic, and security competition,” said Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi. “We must remember what voters have instructed us [to do] and we have to meet those objectives to put us in a better economic position.” 

“What our committee can do is be a force multiplier for other committees in Congress and shine a spotlight,” said Chairman Moolenaar. “Our goal will be to influence public policy and we've already seen that with both administrations, where our work has influenced what the executive branch has done.”
