The speaker's testimony focuses on the federal government's failures to understand and counter the CCP's political and economic warfare. They witnessed China bypassing defensive barriers in the Pacific, endangering US territories, despite warnings. A bridge in Kiribati, funded by the US, fell into disrepair and was replaced by a Chinese-built bridge after bureaucratic delays.
The speaker also highlights a subnational incursion in Michigan involving a CCP-tied lithium-ion battery manufacturer, Goshen, near Camp Grayling. Goshen declared its real estate transaction as "uncovered," and a proposed rule adding military bases for CFIUS review is not retroactive and doesn't apply to Goshen. The speaker requested the Treasury Department reexamine Goshen's declarations, citing a 2020 CFIUS rule. Court filings revealed offers by Goshen to recalled trustees, including trips to China and sweetheart real estate deals, suggesting elite capture and corruption. These deals were not disclosed, despite warnings from national security agencies. The speaker emphasizes the need for intergovernmental agency processes to acknowledge, spot, and defend against CCP threats.
