WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Nick Langworthy (R, 23) recently spoke on the House floor about the Chinese Communist Party, working to buy small businesses in the United States.
TRANSCRIPT (PARTIAL) “China has invested in and built relationships with the highest levels of the American Business Community to Advocate and Advance the CCP interest in the United States for decades. However, I recently saw that the Chinese E-Commerce giant Alibaba is ramping up its Global expansion with new services aimed at attracting small businesses in the United States. Small businesses are the backbone of many communities across the United States especially in in a district like mine New York’s 23rd Congressional District. These are family-owned operations they often don’t have the resources to compete with large corporations and could easily be persuaded to be seemingly receiving a helping hand uh so to speak from a Chinese partner,” Langworthy stated in his opening remarks.
