            ECONOMIC AND INTELLECTUAL COMPETITION WITH CHINA

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognize the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, for far too long, the Chinese 
Communist Party has taken advantage of innocent people in its own 
country and around the world.
  Now, America is engaged in an economic and intellectual competition 
with China that existed long before the coronavirus crossed our 
borders. The current pandemic merely has exposed the Chinese Communist 
Party's sinister lies, and the depths to which it will reach.
  There is no question that we must hold this regime accountable for 
all of its actions. As a member of the China Task Force, I am committed 
to combating the Chinese Government's threats to our great Nation. We 
must be focused on strengthening and protecting our supply chains to 
ensure that we are never beholden to this regime for critical medicines 
and critical supplies.
  Americans must once again lead in innovation. We must, and we will.
