Michigan Representative John Moolenaar is a national treasure. As chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, he’s led opposition to Wall Street’s ongoing practice of “funding our demise.”

In a recent interview on “Securing America,” Chairman Moolenaar declared:

We see these situations where American investor dollars unknowingly are either advancing…Chinese slave labor or cooperation with the Chinese military industrial complex. And that’s just wrong. But we need to make it illegal, and we need to [enact] legislation, as well as cooperation with the executive branch, to shut that down.

This CPDC webinar featuring Mr. Moolenaar’s leadership, showcases an immediate corrective: Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins can swiftly, and unilaterally, terminate a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding that allows CCP companies uniquely to ignore our securities laws and regulations. We must stop financing our demise!
