WASHINGTON—A newly formed committee is sounding the alarm about the dangers posed by a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that is waging unrestricted warfare against the United States, and the group is urging President Donald Trump to go further in opposing the CCP.

In its fourth public event since it was founded in late March, the Committee on the Present Danger: China gathered politicians and experts on Capitol Hill on May 2 to discuss topics such as fifth-generation (5G) communications technology, intellectual property (IP) theft, the nature of the Chinese regime, and U.S. financial support for it.

5G

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) said that in an age of the “internet of things,” everything is connected to something, and that something is connected to a network. That is why the United States can’t afford to lose the race for 5G, the coming generation of internet technology. If that network is controlled by the CCP’s version of 5G, all the data in it will be compromised.
