                   THREAT OF CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, as we know, the Chinese Communist Party 
poses one of the greatest existential challenges of our time.
  Under President Xi Jinping, the CCP has made its intentions perfectly 
clear:

supplant the post-World War II international order created by the U.S. 
and forge a new world order led by China.
  Clearly, the Biden administration is distracted from that. Time and 
again, this administration has projected weakness on the world stage 
and gotten bogged down by policies that only serve to divide our people 
and other silliness.
  We can't afford to drop the ball on this critical matter. We must get 
tough on China and restore American greatness on the world stage by 
projecting strength, not weakness.
  The CCP is only becoming more and more aggressive. Here are a few 
examples.
  First is the issue of exit bans placed by the CCP on American 
citizens, including some of my own constituents. This behavior by the 
CCP needs to stop. We must find solutions for this dire issue facing 
American citizens.
  Second, I was pleased to support prohibiting the CCP from acquiring 
American farmland, frequently near important military installations.
  Third, we must deter any threat to Taiwan as well as Japan.
