House Select Committee Leaders Say Chinese Export Restrictions Show Need for Legislation
The House Select Committee on China's leaders said a recent announcement that China would restrict exports of graphite, which is used in electric vehicle batteries, shows how urgent it is to pass legislation to respond to China's actions.
Chairman Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis. and ranking member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., said in a news release: "The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) latest decision to restrict exports of graphite, a key electric vehicle battery material, underscores the need to quickly diversify our supply chains away from the People's Republic of China and shore up collective resilience with our partners and allies."
