Communist China is illegally using its military to expand its territory and force neighboring nations away from natural resources, according to one congressman.

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), who serves on the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said that the regime is using military facilities to dominate the nations of Southeast Asia and to undermine American influence.
