Press Release: Rep. Judy Chu and Senator Hirono Lead Opposition to Recreation of Trump's China Initiative

None

Rep. Judy Chu and colleagues oppose reinstating the China Initiative, citing targeting concerns and past failures.

Quiver AI Summary

Representative Judy Chu and Senator Mazie Hirono are leading efforts against the potential reinstatement of the Trump-era China Initiative. In a letter to the House Appropriations Committee, they voiced concerns that the initiative, which targeted Chinese American researchers, fostered discrimination and had a high rate of dismissed cases.

The lawmakers emphasize the need for a more equitable approach to national security that does not unfairly profile individuals based on their ethnicity. They assert that reviving the initiative would misallocate resources and regress civil rights protections.

The initiative, disbanded in 2022, is being discussed again as part of the FY2026 CJS appropriations bill, but past opposition from lawmakers has previously prevented its inclusion in funding legislation.
