Lawmakers Speak Out on China Infiltrating US Colleges | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

For years, some members of Congress have been trying to get a stock trading bill passed. There were reports that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and others amassed large profits, benefiting from "insider information," especially during the pandemic. Now, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is spearheading a new effort to get a ban passed. Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to bring it to the floor for a vote, sometime in September supporters are optimistic it will pass. In another effort by Senate Republicans, Florida Senator Rick Scott and others wrote Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to investigate the Chinese Communist Party's ties to American universities. For years, lawmakers have been outspoken about Chinese spies infiltrating our US college campuses, stealing our intellectual properties and sharing them with our superpower enemies. Representative Nathaniel Moran says, "Universities across the nation are being exploited by the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign adversaries, with the CCP leading efforts to infiltrate college campuses, to steal our intellectual property, spread propaganda, and collect information to send back to China."
