The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is taking steps to control the U.S. rail industry, leveraging state funding to undercut competitors, force private companies out of business, and then dominate the market.

The issue doesn’t end with the debate about the free market or foreign actions that disrupt private competition in business. Control of the U.S. rail system also gives the CCP a network of sensors across the United States, and control of a key tool used for domestic transport by the U.S. military.
