House China select committee ranking member Ro Khanna, along with other lawmakers, has sent a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche demanding an update on a report regarding illegal labor practices by Chinese firms in the U.S. auto sector. This report was commissioned by Congress earlier this year as part of a broader appropriations bill signed by President Trump.
The lawmakers expressed concerns about companies linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), particularly Fuyao, which is accused of undercutting prices and using illegal labor practices. They emphasized the importance of protecting the U.S. auto supplier base, especially as American workers face job losses.
The letter references federal raids on Fuyao's operations and other Chinese firms, suggesting a pattern of systematic abuse. The lawmakers have requested a response by June 19, underscoring the urgency of addressing these issues to ensure fair competition and compliance with U.S. labor laws
