Last week, Rep. John Moolenaar introduced the No PLA Employees Act to the United States Congress.

The bill, co-sponsored by Ben Cline of Virginia, would disallow former and current employees of companies that are being seen supporting China's People's Liberation Army. 

"The Chinese Communist Party is working tirelessly to make the PLA the world's leading military force by 2050," Moolenaar said. "Our commonsense legislation ensures that those who have already worked to advance the CCP's mission are not permitted in the United States, while protecting Chinese immigrants who seek to flee the regime's persecution."

The bill would also allow those employees currently in the United States to be deported. 

"At a time when the Chinese Communist Party is working aggressively to expand its influence over the United States economy and technological advancements, we cannot afford to hand over critical research and jobs to entities with ties to our greatest adversary,” Cline said.

Moolenaar serves as the Chairman of the House Select Committee on China. Cline is a member of the House Committee on the Judiciary, which has jurisdiction over immigration policy.
