China Sanctions Former Chairman of House Select Committee on CCP

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Tuesday announced sanctions against former Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher, who was a vocal critic of communist China before leaving Congress.

Mr. Gallagher, who represented Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District from 2017 until he stepped down in April, was once the chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP. During his tenure at the committee’s top post, he spoke out on many issues relating to China, including the U.S. fentanyl crisis, infiltration operations in the United States, threats posed by the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok, human rights violations, and threats against U.S. allies including Taiwan.

On May 21, China’s foreign ministry issued a statement announcing sanctions against Mr. Gallagher.
