by that ccp today.roughly 24 out of 24 times there in the simulation they would fail to successfully invade taiwan today and gaps exist in their capabilities to do what german xi jinping has commanded the people's liberation army to be able to be by 2027. talk about some the gaps are today that chairman xi jinping is trying to address on his side? >> congressman the pla the people's liberation army has been receiving massive amounts of investments that increase by double digits in many years. precisely to try to fill gaps they would need to fill to successfully invade taiwan. that is we should be working to prevent is an invasion. include amphibious lift two at all right it's the of missiles pointed at taiwan. that is very scary. countries barely submit to airstrikes alone. this other things we need to do to get people, soldiers on the ground and equipment there. helicopter lift is another key area. also the capabilities designed to keep us out of the fight long enough. cracks in your testimony you quot

intelligence officials cautioned can be influenced by ccp driven manipulation include operation by ccp directed individuals on us-based pro-democracy advocates, intimidate chinese and chinese-american students at universities and pressure individuals in the united states to return to china including writing families. prc exerts influence through road initiatives exporting terrestrial info structure information and communication technology and other technology areas. this global influence directly impact businesses in the u.s. security interests here at home. one area of competition in commercial tillich medication including satellite medication and broadband medication like spacex star link. for the expansion of chinese tillich medication services would boost beijing's presence in foreign terrestrial network inviting the ccp remote access and enabling it to surveilled users and block internet access and information. i offer a few recommendations to help address these challenges expanding education and awareness and this hearing is important in that regard and remind the america public

and discuss all avenues the ccp is threatening u.s.and security national strategy of stealing from u.s. military and civilian targets the majority of the threats china poses to the u.s. homeland security are occurring below the threshold of traditional conflicts. we need to be cognizant of these threats generate multifaceted solutions to deter them. these threats already directly affecting american citizens. cancer center for instance one of the nation's top hospitals for cancer my home state of texas ousted several scientists in the center and 2019 the scientists were flagged by the u.s. national institutes01 of health regarding a variety of threats including data security, property loss ultimately investigated by the fbi. this incident was by no means unique with the ccp continued targeting american research and innovation across the country. additionally ccp is exploiting the open nature of american academia to seal vital research and development. confucius institutes mechanism uses ccp to recruit american talent to support military

it is not change the ccp calculus.estion to the panelist is, what further actions must we take to truly alter beijing's decision-making? how do we also raise his profile in the international community? this is of the magnitude where it has to be the united states and our friends and allies around the world. please, give us your perspective on how we heighten the sense of urgency on this issue and how we bring to bear the forces necessary to confront this evil? >> think you representative for that question for el briefly started to an incredibly important point to respond to a level of threat that is currently facing the uyghur people we knew global and coordinated strategy parade that has been missing thus far for their needs to be greater coordination for the targeted sanctions that exist. also the import restrictions. this should be a process efficacy are then put in place to beat task to collect intelligence specifically to that and be sure that respective parties. we could also be working to share intelligence with

an issue threats american ip had ccp's target u.s. and critical infrastructure and undermining our economic security. moreover illicit fentanyl analogs and related precursor chemicals are predominantly sourced from the prc and then sent to mexico for these poisonous drugs continue to feel the tragic crisis in her homeland. i'm eager to discuss these challenges and more during today's hearing. let me be clear about this hearing.ou the owner and his listening at home or abroad, this conflict in the discussion today does not have anything to do the chinese people who are living in china and it being manipulated by the ccp. if the conflictt is with the ccp brings authoritative gene that has genocide against his own people. a sense of free r speech, not jt in china but across the globe and aim to an democracy as we know it.nd this here is the first of many but it is a first step on the subcommittee the greater committee on homeland security, which we intend to confront the threat stemming from ccp includes a target our homeland. we will me

i mean, look, that's what the ccp is doing.ht up about 7% of the land throughout african nations and they want those rare earth minerals as well. >> there's one simple thing that we can do. china has bribed the leaders of all these countries. they bribed them in dollars. every dollar transaction clears through new york. we can disclose the payments that china has made to african leaders. by the way, that's what happened in the solomon islands where discloture of payments to legislators from china and that's been effective although of course we need to do a lot more in the solomons but the point is we have the tools to be able to expose that corruption and, therefore, make advances of our own so that our companies can deal on a level playing field. maria: yeah. i just don't know if the administration is going to be able to wind any of this back. i mean, the ccp has its program in place. now he's partnering with russian president putin. putin is claiming that russia and china are not creating a military alliance. putin says, quot

we must recognize the ccp wants us to be fractious, partisan, and prejudiced. the ccp hopes for it. but what they do not get is that the diversity of our viewpoints and backgrounds is not a bug in america's operating system. it is our defining feature and strength. as nancy pelosi, for whom this room is named, has said, our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power. our unity of purpose, and action -- in action, and as americans. we must some of that unity to safeguard our values and economic way of life going forward. host: the democratic ranking member last night. that was about 12 hours ago that that hearing kicked off, the sun rising on capitol hill this wednesday morning. did you watch last night's hearing? what did you think about their work and what they are focusing on for a little more on that front from the wall street journal? the wrapup of the hearing, the new select committee does not have the authority to draft legislation but has the authority to issue subpoenas, like the january 6 committee. the china panel here aims to build a narrative in a way that is a

the reasons why the cp -- ccp is arguably ahead of schedule in that marathon is that the ccp's economic aggression against the west. but i believe very strongly that the united states should not mimic the chinese industrial policy, should not copy the chinese command and control system. we should not embrace overly broad measures that would raise questions about our commitment to a market economy, which is a key source of strength to the united states in contrast to china's communist central planning policies. in other words, as this committee does its work and as we consider policy responses to the threats from the ccp, i would submit to my colleagues and policymakers in this country , we should not try to counter china by becoming more like china. host: scott, what do you think of that? he says we're going to become more like china. guest: in that hearing, i agreed with about 99% of the things said by everybody, which is where to find in a hearing. i did not agree with that. i felt he was setting up a straw man. the chips act is so far away from beijing's command-and-control of econom

the ccp will never reveal their true partnership.cly we can't get into the details of it but i can tell you china's methodology of intelligence collection across the board. they have ccp operatives disguised in publicly-traded companies across mainland china and the world funded by the ccp doing their bidding so they can collect intelligence against their adversaries like america. whether 20%, 2% they have stashed the pipeline, the funding line, mechanisms needed to collect not just against america but the other 80% of ownership out there on the bytedance platform. so all over europe, all over asia it is not just they're collecting against american interests. i'm surprised our european counterparts and allies are not having the same reaction we are here in the united states. i think that is going to come next after this congressional hearing. hopefully it raises awareness. more importantly tiktok needs to be banned period. neil: well, a number of those european allies to your point, you've been anything but quiet on it, warning folks

the way to get leading professors to send back information to the ccp. i wrote about this in the cost the book in 2020 with james freeman, and in the book i detail a worker at motorola stopped at airport had ton of thumb drives in pockets basically stealing patents from motorola to bring to ccp how is this missed for so long? i mean this costing american business what? 6 to 800 billion dollars a year. >> well maria it hasn't been missed you've been talking built others have been talking about it is what happening even now is that other news networks so on are being revisionists implying they've al been open to talking about china's misconduct one major competitor is all over how they've been for open signs, consideration that the wuhan virus might be come from the lab. but, of course, they are saying it now that doesn't make it true, you know when you were saying, those things you were almost the loan voice directly, and with people you had on the air. so one of our challenges is don't let people revise history but also let's be honest. just as this coun

that is one of the full research ccp campaign. we can never really know that china undermines the kids. like i said, this is important to know. >> todd: we are still having trouble with the sound so we have to cut you up. the word fascinating, i think is what we need to pay attention to. but also concerning because we have to realize that china knows how to play this game of chess. we often hear times play checkers and unfortunately, that is not going to defend our nation from this malign information warfare that we are seeing right now. the military is to handle the military warfare aspect of it. we need to beef up our resources so china does not feel involved in on the world stage. when it comes to information specifically tiktok, this is the reason bipartisan effort in d.c. is underway to make sure that tiktok can't do this on behalf of the ccp, if a man fact, this is what the ccp is doing with regard to tiktok and specifically the willow project. we will keep on top of this and keep you posted on any new developments. in the m

what does the ccp have on him?ouldn't answer that the, and i hope these committees will get to the bottom of it. we've already started to see some of the funds transfers that came to the family or at least what looks to be convenients for those. regardless of -- repeat -- receipts for those. i always look to people's actions. for me it's what are you doing. the biden administration's putting all of the wrong things at forefront of america, and you can see it unraveling for every american family. we are less secure today than we were two and a half years ago, maria. maria: very, very disturbing. i want to get your take on iran. we have new developments this morning with regard to the potential of deeming the iranian withs a terrorist organization. we'll be right back with more from if former secretary of state mike pompeo. ♪ ♪ what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best a

they'll try to sound tough on the ccp for political cover. when push comes to shoved, they'll try to help wall street and let china gets what they want. joe biden does not see it that way. back in 2001, his first trip of the relations committee to china and th there -- at the time, biden commented the united states welcomes the emergence of a prosperous integrated china on the global stage. well, of course, as usual, biden had no idea what he was talking about. and now america is facing a nightmare. a wildly prosperous china which created a growing military threat to freedom everywhere. so china is entering into the wto was needed a catalyst for democratic reform in beijing nor was it a wealth driver for the american middle class. instead, it sped up of the outsourcing of millions of american jobs. and, to that hundreds of thousands of our citizens dead from the chinese produced fentanyl overdoses and now the 20 million dead worldwide from covid-19. of course, the truth now about china and all these respects should be cleared to all of us. >>

for the ccp to succeed amid its own ambitions, the pla must become a much more capable military. general secretary xi needs a pla capable of protecting the ccp sovereignty over a number of expansive and illegal sovereignty claims. he needs a pla that can successfully operate in the taiwan contingency for the purpose of forced unification he needs a pla that can look after broader and regional interests particularly where protections of the lines of communication are concerned. he needs a pla that can be successful in augmenting prc efforts to create a regional order where countries are more differential to their interests and -- it is increasingly clear that the pla must be more active in order to receive these capabilities and be better postured to play the role in vision under it. under the guidance of the ccp in the central military cape, the pla is engaging in military diplomacy of various kinds. conducting bilateral multi lateral exercises greater frequency. it is creating foreign bases and access opportunities. it is engaging in operational military operations -- and is pro

it's not just that tiktok and bite dance and by extension the ccp could use the app to exfiltrate dataack your location, it's that with control of the algorithm, they control what information americans get they could use that to then influence our elections and our sense of national identity and so we have to ask ourselves, do we want to give the ccp the commanding heights of the information space going forward? >> but cfius isn't approved that mission -- >> i know. >> it would see dozens of government personnel essentially policing the data agreement. meanwhile, china does not allow large u.s. tech platforms to operate on its mainland. so how does the reciprocity issue factor this here >> one, that's why i'm skeptical of the mitigation plan but two, i thought our witness pointed out the basic lack of reciprocity. and it extends beyond tiktok think about choina's communist party official presence on our social media platforms, which they exploit in order to spread propaganda well, their own citizens don't have access to these platforms twitter, youtube and yet, we allow them to run all
