House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has scheduled a third hearing to address China's political warfare and the U.S. government's actions concerning the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) within the country. Comer highlighted the role of federal agencies in protecting U.S. industries and citizens from foreign influence and noted that more efforts are needed to address this issue effectively.

The House recently passed legislation, H.R. 1516, which seeks to reduce the CCP's influence on U.S. higher education. Comer also emphasized the need for a comprehensive strategy to safeguard critical U.S. industries and ensure that federal agencies are adequately prepared to counter foreign interference.

The upcoming hearing will further assess the federal government's efforts in handling CCP influence operations and their implications for national security.
