The next front of China's economic war is out of this world

Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., tells'America Reports' that China is the primary geopolitical threat to the U.S. and should be addressed more by presidential candidates. The tentacles of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are creeping into an increasing number of U.S. industries in China's coordinated campaign to infiltrate critical industries to the U.S. economy. The CCP views theft of U.S. intellectual property as "a strategic resource," and China remains the largest source of counterfeit and pirated goods in the world. Chinese companies are building electric vehicle (EV) battery plants near key U.S. military installations, and China still controls the global chips market despite investments in U.S. production. China is also flexing its dominance of the rare earth sector in retaliation for U.S. trade policy, and China is in talks to create a new military facility just miles from the American homeland.
