After the White House admitted China has been spying on the US from Cuba for years, China is asking the Biden administration what they know about Beijing spying on Americans
, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is asking senior Biden administration officials what they know about Beijing using US technology to spy on Americans.
Committee Chair and Rep. Mike Gallagher questioned what the Biden administration knows about China using US technology to spy on Americans.Gallagher added that Beijing has done so “even as they have undermined US interests, violated US export control restrictions, and boosted the surveillance and censorship capabilities of authoritarian states.”
“Did the Intelligence Community’s knowledge of these companies and their support to PRC SIGINT [Chinese signals intelligence] operations factor in decisions on whether to grant [export] licenses?” he asked. “Will it factor in decisions currently facing the Department of Commerce? The committee is particularly suspicious given China’s decade-long push to push private commercial companies – such as the notorious Huawei cell phone company – into the country’s military-industrial complex to rapidly modernize its armed forces, according to the letter.
“Have the identities and activities of these companies and their contribution to [China’s spying] operations been shared with the Department of Commerce, or any other member of the End-User Review Committee?” he asked.
