[laughter] and you can see this with the chinese communist party. there is a tremendous opportunity for us to use the clarity from the berlin speech to communicate much more effectively with the chinese communist party. the best means to do so is to bypass the great firewall. >> everybody should read all three essays that reagan center differences not about weapons that liberty is an important reminder to differentiate the soviet union from the west these are supposed and has been neglected by recent us administrations us negotiators have been quick whether russia or iran and the obama administration with the attempts to do so under the trump administration with north korea. the overall point is that their recent administrations have placed too much emphasis on diplomatic cooperation and too little time clarity. do i have that right quick. >> yes. especially with nuclear weapons involved, there is a need to negotiate even with authoritarians. we cannot help and aspire to a quick regime change but there's obviously the way they did it even speaking to

reductions, we are now able to prioritize funding for the national security threat posed by the chinese communist party. look, it's time that the u.s. we get serious about that maligned destabilizing negative actions of the communist chinese party around the world. this measure -- this bill does precisely that in an unprecedented, unprecedented manner. let me talk a little bit it. the bill includes $4.4 billion, which is $1 billion above the president's budget request to fund programs to counter, to counter the threat of the communist -- chinese communist party around the world. for the first time this bill includes half a billion, $500 million in foreign military financing for taiwan. first time ever. these funds, as everybody knows, are critical to support our friend and democratic alley, which is on the frontlines of chinese's bullying and constant threats. this bill provides unwavering support, unwavering support for our democratic ally, israel, and other key partners around the world. another priority is to strengthen efforts to counter fentanyl. fentanyl production and trafficking. i don't have t

the chinese communist party is sending people, it a appears, and you have -- that has increased over percent, over 18,000 chinese nationals presenting at our southern border. coming into this country. maria, they have got to secure that border. and and a lot of people are beginning to say send the military to the border and how are we going to do this. you've got to have some action there. we cannot sustain this. maria: well, the chinese communist party would have their military there in three seconds. i spoke with mark green, the chairman of the house homeland security committee this week, and he said this is all being directed by xi jinping. he's actually sending military-aged men into america to settle here til he's ready to give them the directive to be a saboteur. so is that the point here? do you believe that as well? who knows what they can -- start wildfires, i mean, i don't know. >> yeah. well, we do not know who is coming in, and we do not know their purpose, whether they're coming from the chinese communist party or any of the other countries. the point we need to focus on

still chose to go to china average american is aspect of cyberwarfare on the part of the chinese communist partyou live in iowa we have multiple incidents where you've had chinese operatives stealing sensitive agricultural information and technology stealing seeds in order to bring that back to china to give them an edge and agricultural domain if you live in new york city there was illegal chinese police station established in the heart of manhattan where ccp entities using it to spy on people on american soil and harass and surveil in some cases physically assault them. this is an all across the board relentless espionage coercion campaign. it is not just official spies they have but something called the united front work department they've infiltrated our institutes of higher education. we need to wake up. we immediate to push back and do a better job of defending our own sovereignty and institutions from this ccp aggression. jason: you just mentioned the institutes of higher education. i mean, by the thousands the chinese are allowed to bring people in here and tap into the intellectual expe

they find themselves beholden to authoritarian regime at home in the chinese communist party. some of these chinese nationals have seen no choice but to support the chinese communists through theft of research and technology. their families back in china may suffer harsh consequences if they do not comply with their government's demands. china sustain interest in our intellectual property is a stark reminder of the global competition surrounding artificial intelligence. this competition may drive advancements in the field. we cannot work the threat to our national security posed by the chinese government. the department of energy in our national labs must take the china threat more seriously. we cannot let our technology fall into the hands of those in beijing. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses today on what additional steps research agencies must take to prevent this theft of american technology. mr. chairman, thanks for calling this hearing. >> i would like to thank the witnesses for being here today. i appreciate you making the effort. we will have deputy secretar

the chair and the ranking member of the house select committee on the chinese communist party discuss the chinese economy, taiwan, trade and human rights concerns. posted by the council on foreign relations, this runs just over an hour. >> we are delighted and honored to have this as the first program of the school year to -- so to speak. the council prides itself on being nonpartisan. what better way to demonstrate nonpartisanship than having this fully bipartisan commission here working out of the council for a couple of days, and the chair man and ranking member of the commission here with us? congressman mike gallagher from wisconsin and congressman raja krishnamoorthi from illinois, thank you for agreeing to do this program today. we would love to get your perspective on, first and foremost, china's role in the global economy. china has traditionally driven about one third of global growth. we benefit from that, in terms of being able to export there. trading partners benefit from it. germany slows down because china slows down, europe slows down, japan slows down. it affects us

jonathan, the person paid over 250,000 dollars to hunter biden, is a member of the chinese communist party upland in the united states, hunter biden while living in california used his father's address in delaware to receive this wire transfer. maria: what we said earlier ccp is inside the gates of america. >> yeah one hundred percent the more we dig more i am sure going to come up every time we dig deeper into all of this something new surfaces i think really important the public doesn't get distracted with some other things in media to attract them as trump indictments, et cetera, it is my concern is that the ccp is going to get -- quickly, i think important that we really make sure. maria: democrats talking about russia, russia, russia, in fact it is china as number one adversary, who sets up 20 shell companies while vice president 20 million dollars to biden family members nine family members? your thoughts. mind-boggling. >> i know. the fact even talking about this, and that it is so out there, and so documented and, yet, nothing has really happened other than just insinuation, and ta

generated in these applications on americans phones are, by a lot, made accessible to the chinese communist party. so, while chinese students another for instance may have some type of risk, it pales, in my, view in comparison to the type of data we are just giving away. >> i appreciate that. i understand where that is coming from. my other concern, though, in regards to that, and i will say quickly, meant chinese government is not stupid. they obviously don't care more about their people than they do about the. government when they allow people to come here for education, i think it's with minute areas intent. that's my worry. i'm not saying we don't need to educate people, i'm worried about it, and i'm worried about anybody who is pushing people over here, knowing they're not coming back for a reason. with that, said also, mr. wang, you made an interesting statement about investing in a.i. and how china has three tore -- three times more investment in their a.i.. of, course we do have a cute advantage, we have private people that are invested in a.i.. china doesn't have that. they don't have th

truman administration's policies concerning venezuela and has been an outspoken critic of the chinese communist party, delivering what i think is one of the finest addresses of the trump administration, a major policy address actually here at hudson institute october 4, 2018 on the chinese communist relationship with the united states. we are very proud to host him today, and he is the first presidential candidate giving a presidential speech here. we invited on a bipartisan basis presidential candidates to present their national security views at hudson and we could not be happier that vice president pence is the inaugural speaker in that series. without further adieu, please help me welcome mike pence. [[applause] mr. pence: thank you for your hospitality and the great leadership you provide here at the hudson institute. you read the introduction just the way i wrote it. but kidding asuit, i'm truly grateful. not only for your career and the career in public service leading at hudson institute. i'm more than grateful for more than 60 years hudson institute has shaped our public discourse in the min

different leader, but i have the impression that chinese collectivism still exists and the chinese communist partyes that it is not moving in that direction, then it is obvious, as far as i remember the chinese communist party, that they can get together and overthrow xi jinping, because the authority of the party, they it is necessary to save the system, not a specific xi ​​jinping. and here there is already a contradiction, please, mr. arthur. uhu, well, you are right, this is the old communist party, now, according to the investigation, it actually conducts and publishes what happened in baidey, this secret meetings every summer, xi jinping actually liquidated all the elders of the party, they are intimidated, there are mass purges , that is, degradation is in full swing and this has not happened since the time of mao zedong, it's just worse now, the economy is also worse, that is, we have a recession and a record level of unemployment , and you are right about the rigon of real estate, everything is not good in china, and what is uryadpin doing , instead of easing the economic situation and or

>> a huge mistake we cannot allow the chinese communist party from the dominant media pot farm in america way to reach the voters that we lost all creativity. and we can do better than that. >> there is a new report saner military service members are dealing with horrible conditions, roaches, bedbugs and there is squatters in their living quarters during congressman jan armed service committee, squatters in the barracks, what the hell is going on. >> it is shameful that we have pristine golf courses on the same basis where service members are the in the living conditions. we need to do better and shine a light on the armed services committee. any american who serves our country as i did knows that you not to be staying at the ritz. we have a basic understanding that you can have safe living conditions, quality of water, this is unacceptable we need to do better in terms of funding the military because if we don't act this week $11 billion is going to evaporate. this is money that we appropriated reimagine the pipes that we can fix with $11 billion, stuff like this shows you the lack of le

>> i think we can make that distinction between the chinese people and the communist chinese party, anding to create an anti-chinese sentiment in our country. we're just trying to be smart about how we respond to the communist chinese. >> i mean, this is incredible, so that you're driving syngenta is one of the most important seed chemical companies in the world. and never mind that it's swiss headquartered, right? you showed those flags. the american flag, you wouldn't even know it was swiss headquartered. but 100% owned by a chinese state-owned company that's designated by the united states as a military company? and that's just fine? >> and totally linked to the ccp. yeah, and they're operating here legally. they've done nothing wrong, and i think that's part of the concern from lawmakers is if they're able to do that and they're able to continue, you know, really unvetted with future investments, how long does that pursue? and so if you look at the total number of, though, erin, it's quite small when we're talking about how much of the foreign-owned land in this country is controlle

>> well, there is no doubt that the chinese communist party's effort is deep and broad.hing that the united states has ever seen, laura. you not remember we grew up in the cold war where russian spies were working. this makes that effort pale in comparison. their efforts at destroying our intellectual property and jobs. we saw what they did with the virus and lied to the world for b. it for years. still haven't been held accountable. they are broad, they are economic, espionage, inside the university, stealing our research. we need to wake up. we can't be naive. if the chinese communist party is funding research at your college or university, it is not because they like your alma mater. it is because they have an intense interest in undermining the united states of america. so, yes, corporate america has got to pick this up, too. got it do their part. >> laura: now, well, i should say what was your reaction to the report of the cia whistleblower who has told members of congress that we were pressured, we were pressuring people paid off not to actually look more into chin

putin, and the chinese communist party, it is time for every member of congress to step up and show some leadership. there is no reason we should not be able to pass this bill and avert a government shutdown. none. so let's get it done. thank you very much. >> nope, nope -- okay. i have -- i want to say a word about the menendez indictment before i take questions like you, i was just deeply disappointed, disturbed when i read the indictment. look, i've known senator menendez a very long time and it was truly, truly upsetting but we all know that senators four senators there's a much, much higher standard and clearly, when you read the indictment, senator menendez fell way below that standard. tomorrow, he will address the democratic caucus, and we'll see what happens after that. >> should he resign? >> as i said tomorrow he will address our caucus and we'll see what will happen after that. >> on the government funding bill -- you have 77 votes for this bill here. >> qowld have been -- 80 with everyone there. >> high vote total that said is obvious that the house can accommodate this bill

chinese communist party.re is evidence they delay payment after joe biden was no longer vice president so no appearance ofal impropriety. in 2017 after joe biden left office hunter wants to get paid by the chinese communist party in a july 4 of 2017 there's a meeting in moscow between vladimir putin and the present for the chairman of the cfc which is a chinese energy party was present in talking about a large-scale purchase of a company by the chinese communist party. on july 30wi of 2017 there is a text with hunter biden and the members of cfc and that tax rates if i get a call or text from anyone involved other than you saying you are the chairman will make certain between a man sitting next to me and every person he knows and ability to forever hold a grudge that you regreter that -- he could have been killed and he is not since 2018. thaten is true in august 30, august 3 there's another text. i can make 5 million in salary of any law firm in america. if you think this is about money it's not. the biden's

it's a failed effort to say can't we all just get along when the chinese communist party party knowsa message that says we can walk all over america. >> martha: a couple sends. your movie, "route 60" one of the most fascinates highways in the world. tell us about it. >> we walked the historic road, route 60. we walked to places that americans can't often get. it was lovely. i told the stories from the new testament in a christian perspective. am bad -- it's a lot of fun. hope you go see it in theaters today. >> martha: thanks, mike. great to have you on set in new york. >> thank you. >> martha: more on this coming up with john kirby coming up next. what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. now you get out there, and you make us proud, huh? ♪ bye, uncle limu. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ( ♪ ♪ ) start your day with nature made. the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitt

out of this administration, before the secretary's visit she made restrictions loosened on chinese communist partyd state media applauded that i think any time chinese state media is applauding any decision by u.s. is probably not our best interests they are taking concessions to get in room not getting accountability out of the visits. in fact making us weak err on global stage as a result of vitts we need to start treating china based again what on they are doing not saying they arelying to us. they are spying on us, cheating ramping up military in a should be -- alarming to entire country and world i call on biden administration to carrier a big stick policy we need toward china they are escalating. as far as taiwan is concerned a huge risk our committee put out a plate of recommendations an how we can empower relationships in the regional continue to develop raid relationships with folks who share our values of freedom the attack i think we need to take in entire indo-pacific. cheryl: the concern, where biden administration officials john kerry who is not typically in the administration but he

recently as four years ago, vivek ramaswamy was doing business with high ranking members of the chinese communist party including ccp-linked family that funnels millions to hunter biden. so his partners in china were a company called civic pe, the state invest meant arm of the chinese communist party. the ceo of that company is a guy whose father was the number 5 official in the ccp propaganda minister. he's wife, vivek ramaswamy's business partner's wife is the daughter of the chinese state minister of security that ran all of the influence operations around the world. she as part of those influence operations funneled $5 million to hunter biden's business. >> martha: let me -- >> he was in business -- >> martha: this is the statement that we got from trisha mclaughlin, his spokesperson. vivek's business had a subsidiary in china before the count wound down operations there as the risks became apparent of doing business in china. we need leaders to understand complex issues and vivek believes in learning from experiences. a lot of american companies did business in china. the difference here as i see

the ranking member on the house select committee on the chinese communist party. discussing the chinese economy, trade, and human rights concerns. this runs just over an hour. mr. froman: well, good afternoon and welcome. we are delighted to have this as our first official program of the school year, so to speak. see a lot of friends out there, and for me, it is a particular honor because, you know, the council prides itself on being nonpartisan. what better way to demonstrate nonpartisanship that having a fully bipartisan commission here working out of the council for a couple of days. of course, the chairman and the ranking member here with us. congressman mike gallagher and congressman raja krishnamoorthi, it is great to see you both. thank you for agreeing to do this program with us today. >> there's very few topics that get as much attention as the ones you are working for. you have been talking with a wide range of stakeholders about this. i would love to gain your perspective on, first and foremost, china's role in the global economy. we benefit in terms of

putin and the chinese communist party. it's time for every member of congress to step up and show some leadership. there's no reason we shouldn't be able to pass the bill and avoid a government shutdown, none so let's get it done. thank you very much. >> i just want to say a word about the indictment before i take questions. like you, i was just deeply disappointed, disturbed when i read the indictment. i've known senator menendez a very long time and it was truly upsetting. but we all know that senators, there is a much higher standard and clearly when you read the indictment, senator menendez fell way below the standard. tomorrow, he will address a democratic caucus and we will see what happens after that. as i said tomorrow he will address the caucus and we will see what will happen after that. >> it's obvious the house can't accommodate this bill. should you continue down the path? >> the bottom line is if they put our bill on the floor it would pass. we hope senator mccarthy understands, learns you can't do this in a

i would like the chinese, and his party --chinese communist party to stop what i perceived to be its totalitarian ambitions. it wants to be a regional hegemon, which means cutting of our alliance and partnership structure. it necessarily entails taking over taiwan at some point. i think that is xi jinping's lifelong ambition, and i don't think his ambitions stop there. if chinese economic growth is a means toward that end, or just a way to fill the party's coffers -- the largest sustained peace time buildup since the second world war, and if you think about the numbers, they are daunting, they are overwhelming. we have been twiddling our thumbs thinking about how to grow the size of the american navy. china has the biggest navy in the world. for those who say it is not a big deal, our ships are more capable, quantity has a quality all of its own. when you add in the other fact that china has the three biggest navies in the world. to say nothing about what is most problematic for our navy, their anti-navy, designing a force exclusively over the last 20 or so as to push us out of regio

so you've got investors -- the chinese communist party has been very smart.d in america, inside the gates if you will, if you hear the way secretary pompeo puts it and get american investors to fund their expansion. >> right. that's right. and who is front and center in all of this? joe biden. and i think every american should be concerned and should be concerned not just about the lack of ethics, about the corruption, but also the fact that this president could be compromised to our biggest enemy. maria: and mr. chairman, i know you also obtained new financial records showing that hunter biden was paid all of this money. we talked about the $260,000 from the chinese business partners and the beneficiary was joe biden's home and that was in 2019, just months after joe launched his 2020 presidential campaign. how much money do you think this family has taken in overall? >> i mean, it's going to be in the 20 million, at least in the 20 million range. they made it so complicated and we're running p up against the clock and all sorts of obstruction. we may never

the development of those technology, not the values, i'll say this, not the values of the chinese communist party. and so to the extent we can develop a regulatory structure and realize all the upside benefits of the technology while ensuring that america continues -- continues to lead the way in development of a.i., that's going to be a really important objective. senator schumer: in sum this hearing made a giant stride in dealing with the most significant issue that will face the next generation and it gave us some really good ideas about how to maximize the enormous benefit that a.i. could bring while minimizing the very, very serious risks that a.i. could bring as well. i promised i'd call on her first. reporter: a couple of questions for you. elon musk just told me outside that he does not believe that congress is ready to regulate a.i. you say you're exhilarated. what's your response to what he just said? senator schumer: first in the room he said it was a tremendous hearing and a giant step forward. and second, look, it's a big challenge. this is the hardest thing that i think we have ever

chinese energy party was present. is talking about large scale oil and gas purchase of the company called rosnet by the chinese communist party. now, on july 30th, 2017, there's a text with hunter biden and the members of cefc. that text reads "if i get a call or text from anyone involved other than you or the chairman,ly make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person her knows in my ability to forever hold a grudge that were not following that direction." the people he's talking -- this guy disappeared. he's been killed or he's not been seen since 2018. that is true. august 30th, another -- august 3, another text. i'm tired of this, kevin. i can make $5 million in salary at any law firm in america. if you think this is about money, it's not. the bidens are the best i know doing what the chairman wants from this partnership. don't quibble over peanuts. we talked about influence pedalling, this is a shakedown. use whatever terms we want, this is a threat. they believed it. the next day they sent $100,000. you think they were scared of hunter biden? i don't know. i think we should find out. it matte

trump administration at the department of justice to go after the malign influence of the chinese communist party and the biden justice department dissolved the china initiative. i'm wondering does the department have any documents that would detail the basis for why you got rid of the china initiative that president trump had set up? >> assistant attorney general for the national security division gave a long speech and testified before congress several times. >> tell us all now why was the china initiative dissolved? >> assistant attorney general said we face attacks from four nation states. north korea, china, russia, and iran. we need to focus our attention on the broad range of these attacks. >> are you saying that north korea has the same malign influence risk to the united states as the chinese communist party? are you trying to represent there is parity there? here is what it looks like. it looks like the chinese gave all this money to the bidens and then you guys came in and got rid of the china initiative and it was successful. i saw one rationale you got rid of it because it was racial

the chair and the ranking member of the house select committee on the chinese communist party discuss the chinese economy, taiwan, trade and human rights concerns. posted by the council on foreign relations, this runs just over an hour.

establishing the bipartisan committee to strengthen america against the threats of the chinese communist party. passing the secure border act to address the chaos at the borders. passing the largest deficit reduction package in american history. passing the parents' bill of rights bill. passing the lower energy costs act. in conclusion, god bless our troops who successfully protected america for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving from the afghanistan safe haven to america with biden open borders. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, there was a time in washington less than a year ago when if the speaker of the house of representatives gave you their word it meant something. mr. casten: that's no longer true. earlier this year speaker mccarthy stood in the oval office with the president of the united states and negotiated a deal to raise the debt limit and fu

administration policies in venezuela and he has been an outspoken critic of the chinese democratic party. the chinese communist relationship with the united states. we are very proud and he is the first presidential candidate giving a presidential speech here. we invite the present educators do presenter security views here. we could not be happier that bike -- vice president has is the inaugural speaker. please help me welcome mike pence. >> thank you for your hospitality. thank you for the great leadership we provide here at the hudson institute. you read the introduction just the way i wrote it. but all kidding aside i am truly grateful. not only for your career, your career in public service but i am so grateful that you're more than 60 years, the hudson institute has shaped our public discourse in the minds of american -- american thinkers and always stood for the principal that america leads the way. 20 in thinking the hudson institute for their hospitality. i want to thank you especially. all of you here today. those of you there looking on. for the very first installment of the presidential speech seri

data generated via these applications on americans phones is by law made accessible to the chinese communist party. so while chinese students and other foreign students may have some type of risk it pales in view in comparison to the type of data that we are giving away. >> i do appreciate that and i can totally understand where that is coming from and my other concern is in regards to that and i have a quick comment is the chinese government isn't stupid and they obviously don't care about their people more than they do about their government so when they allow people to come here for education or jobs, i think it is with nefarious intent and that is my worry and i don't want to say we can't educate people from foreign nations but i worry about anybody who is pushing the people over here knowing they won't come back for reason. and with that said, mr. wayne, you made an interesting statement about investing in ai and how china has three times more investment and one thing we do have a huge advantage of his we have a lot of private people who invest in that and china doesn't have that or the capac

would leave the united states naked to the influence of the chinese communist party, to the attacks by iranians on american citizens and attempts to assassinate former officials, to the russian aggression, to north korean cyberattacks, to violent crime in the united states, which the f.b.i. helps to fight against, to all kinds of espionage, to domestic violent extremists who have attacked our churches, our synagogues, our mosques, and who have killed individuals out of racial hatred. i just cannot imagine the consequences of defunding the f.b.i. , but they would be catastrophic. >> thank you. i wanted to turn to the investigation by mr. weiss and the authority he has been granted to conduct the investigation without interference. you testified to the senate judiciary committee on march 1 of this year that david wiess had full authority over any investigation concerning hunter biden. was that a true statement at the time? >> yes. mr. weiss has full authority to conduct his investigation however he wishes , and mr. weiss has confirmed that in letters to this committee. >> thank you. this

watch this. >> it's frustrating for me when people don't realize how dangerous the chinese communist partyve 150 million americans using tiktok right now and they have access to your phone, to your camera, to your e-mails, to your contacts and financial information, the idea that you have a candidate who was opposed but now says i'm going to get back on it. that's a bad precedent for anyone american to think it's okay but it's not okay. >> we're in the reagan library and reagan said about the soviet union. he said, we win, they lose. that's my strategy on china. not one social media app and defense industrial base and pharmaceutical supply chain and semiconductor supply chain and declaring independence from the climate cult that shackles the united states leaving china untouched and i've offered depth greater than any other candidate in the race for for examplely how we'll do that, while -- exactly how to do that while advancing the american prosperity and that's how i'll legal as commander in chief and taking someone coming for a different organization and the ussr doesn't exist anymore a

another leadership of the chinese communist party and the leadership of our friend and the president of the people's republic of china. it trucks, them use their doing everything to slow down the development of china. it will not be possible to do this. they are too late. that's it, the train has left your voice before if it be to me, but i'd say who is praise for china? is a stark demonstration of the deepening ties between 2 global powers who have increasingly relied on each other to stay afloat economically, amid deteriorating relationships with western countries. since invading ukraine, russia has significantly higher energy exports to china. russia state owned energy giant gas prom, set a record for daily natural gas treatments to china, and is now finalizing the design for a new pipeline to run from russia to china through mongolia. the increase in russian gas and oil exports, as well as metals and agricultural products have helped the kremlin, as well as china as a growing economy. china is increasing sales of consumer electronics and passenger vehicles in russia. 4 of the 10
