ChinaAid Banquet

I was honored to speak at ChinaAid of Midland's Annual Banquet with Founder Dr. Bob Fu.

ChinaAid provides assistance to persecuted people groups and rights activists located in China. I invited Dr. Fu to testify in front of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee to detail his experience with transnational repression at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Transnational repression, the act of foreign governments or their proxies targeting individuals in another country using various coercive tactics, has become an increasingly concerning issue in the United States.

Since President Xi Jinping took power, the CCP's repression against religious freedom, human rights, and the rule of law has reached its worst level. I am grateful for Dr. Fu's leadership across the globe in standing up to dictators like President Jinping. At the event, we were joined by my colleague and fellow Texan Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21).

I will continue standing with Dr. Fu and the many other Americans who have suffered from intimidation tactics by authoritarian regimes.
