China Used American Tech to Create Hypersonic Missile: McCaul

 Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas)

• Chinese weapons, including the hypersonic missile tested by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) last year, have been built using American technology
• The weapon that we saw China launch with great precision can actually carry a nuclear warhead
• When you study it, you realize that that was actually built on the backbone of American technology

Infiltrating the West

• Many of the CCP’s foreign outreach programs, such as its 1,000 Talents program, were explicitly designed to harvest intellectual property from the United States.
• By interfering in U.S. elections, the CCP sought to ensure that US. policies were favorable to China, even at the cost of eroding US. national security.

Global Expansion

• The CCP has weaponized its diplomatic and economic relationships, creating supply chain dependencies in nations where it does business to exploit the relationship and gain access to new ports and airfields.
• To counter this effort, the United States will need to reinvigorate its diplomatic & economic deals with nations throughout the world to ensure that those nations know the US cares more about their wellbeing than the CCP.
