Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Select China Committee, has called on the U.S. Treasury Department to take a much more active role in the thwarting of Chinese firms involved with the espionage sector responsible for the deployment of the spy balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina in early February. Gallagher also demanded tough and resolute action against American firms complicit in the financing and supplying of Chinese espionage.
In a highly detailed, four-page Feb. 20 letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, a copy of which has been obtained by The Epoch Times, Gallagher urged Yellen’s department “to take decisive action against PRC [People’s Republic of China] companies involved in the PRC spy balloon program and to ensure U.S. entities are not aiding and abetting this program.”
