Fox News contributor and U.S. Congressman Mike Pompeo highlighted five key areas that require immediate attention to counteract China’s growing threats during an appearance on ‘America’s Newsroom.’ As Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, he emphasized the need for a stronger defense industrial base in response to Beijing’s military ambitions. He also called out China as being complicit and even subsidizing fentanyl exports that contribute significantly to America’s opioid crisis. Pompeo warned against relying on economic measures alone to deter Chinese aggression, citing the need for more aggressive policies such as pressuring Chinese companies producing precursor chemicals in this regard.
Pompeo also highlighted China’s dominance of critical supply chains like electric vehicles and rare earth minerals which he argued poses a significant threat to global economics by giving Beijing excessive power over these crucial components, particularly considering its penchant for manipulating markets. The Republican congressman criticized the current state and federal policies that incentivize Chinese firms in this regard rather than fostering domestic manufacturing capacity as an alternative option.
Furthermore, Pompeo highlighted how China is actively attempting to exert influence on communities across America including his home-state of Michigan by encouraging companies affiliated with Beijing’s ruling party such as Gotion High Tech which has raised concerns about its potential impact in the region over the past year and a half. The former CIA director also spoke out against TikTok, highlighting how it promotes pro-Hamas content, praises Usama bin Laden or forces children to call members of Congress during debates around legislation on limiting U.S citizen access due its significant association with CCP policies through its algorithms which are tailored in accordance with China’s authoritarian political ideology.
Pompeo concluded by emphasizing the need for his House select committee working across party lines in ensuring Beijing is held accountable to curb both economic and military aggression as well as highlighting American values that contrast starkly against CCP policies, ultimately reiterating this is a competition worth winning for national security purposes.
