The House prepares for "China Week" with floor votes aimed at countering CCP espionage and economic advances.

Beginning on Monday, the House will quickly approve several bills related to China in order to counter the growing threat of the U.S.'s enemy after six weeks of recess.

In the remaining three weeks before the November election, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is devoting valuable floor time to legislation aimed at detecting Chinese espionage software and preparing the incoming president to take a more robust stance against Beijing.

"Majority Leader Steve Scalise revealed to Planet Chronicle Digital that the purpose of "China Week" was to give a clear focus on the need to be confrontational against the threat posed by China."

"The Louisiana Republican believes that we can obtain bipartisan support for several bills because they address issues that threaten our country's national security, and having strong bipartisan votes increases the chances of passing them through the Senate."

Scalise stated that four bills will be debated under a rule, allowing members to propose amendments, while more will be passed quickly without debate under suspension of the rules.

Scalise emphasized one bill that would reverse the Biden administration's directive permitting Chinese-made electric vehicles to receive a $7,500 tax credit. This action infuriated even West Virginia's Democrat-turned-Independent Senator Joe Manchin, who played a significant role in drafting the Inflation Reduction Act that enabled the credit.

The End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles Act, proposed by Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., aims to narrow the definition of a 30D EV that qualifies for the credit to exclude vehicles with substantial parts made in China.

A proposed bill aims to prohibit China from acquiring U.S. farmland. As of 2023, Chinese entities owned approximately 380,000 acres of agricultural land in the U.S., which represents less than 1% of the total.

The No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act would prevent the U.S. from agreeing to any pandemic preparedness agreement negotiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) without the approval of two-thirds of the Senate.

Scalise stated that an additional buffer is being provided to prevent the administration from forming a partnership with WHO and creating a harmful policy for America.

The Biosecure Act would prohibit federal agencies from using biotech equipment from any company that could potentially use data to send back to the CCP.

The DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act prohibits federal funds from being allocated to universities that host Confucius Institutes, which are run by the Chinese Communist Party.

Scalise stated that China is increasingly engaging in our higher education institutions.

Nearly all of the institutes have closed since Congress restricted federal funding to schools with institutes during former President Donald Trump's administration in 2018, according to the GAO.

A new law would revive a task force created under Trump in the Department of Justice to combat Chinese espionage.

Last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that his agency is currently conducting over 2,000 active investigations related to Chinese espionage.

Between $225 billion and $600 billion, the U.S. economy has suffered losses due to Chinese counterfeit goods, pirated software, and trade secret theft, according to the FBI's estimate.
