‘Committee on the Present Danger: China’ to Provide Threat Briefing on the Communist Party’s Unrestricted Warfare

Leading Legislators, Subject Matter Experts Discuss 5G, the PRC’s Assaults on Faith, U.S. Culture and Manufacturing, and How We’re Underwriting Them

WASHINGTON—On Thursday, May 2, the newly launched “Committee on the Present Danger: China” (CPDC) provided its next threat briefing about the various forms of unrestricted warfare that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging against us.

Lines of attack that were addressed include: the campaign being mounted worldwide by the People’s Liberation Army (d.b.a. Huawei) to dominate fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology; the CCP’s information warfare against the U.S.; its war on faith; its assault on our culture; its assault on America’s manufacturing base; the PRC’s enabling of and support for North Korea’s nuclear weapons program; and Communist China’s extensive use of U.S. and Western capital to underwrite these threats and many others.

Legislators Sen. Ron Johnson and Rep. Scott Perry participated.

The CPDC threat briefing took place against the backdrop of ongoing bilateral trade negotiations that White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney has said will be resolved “one way or another” within the next two weeks. (At its launch event last month, the Committee released a statement about the need for a holistic approach to the Chinese threat.)

The CPDC’s mission statement:

The mission of the “Committee on the Present Danger: China” is to help defend America through public education and advocacy against the full array of conventional and non-conventional dangers posed by the People’s Republic of China. As with the Soviet Union in the past, Communist China represents an existential and ideological threat to the United States and to the idea of freedom—one that requires a new American consensus regarding the policies and priorities required to defeat this threat. And for this purpose, it is necessary to bring to bear the collective skills, expertise and energies of a diverse group of experts on China, national security practitioners, human rights and religious freedom activists and others who have joined forces under the umbrella of the “Committee on Present Danger: China.”
