Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), will travel to the United Kingdom to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stop-to-taiwan-left-of-pelosis-asia-trip-itinerary-after-threats-from-china\/\" title=\"Stop to Taiwan Left of Pelosi's Asia Trip Itinerary After Threats From China\">hold high-level meetings<\/a> with British officials and members of Parliament to increase Western pressure on China and beat back its growing global footprint. The 10-lawmaker delegation includes Reps. Michael Waltz (R., Fla.), Haley Stevens (D., Mich.), Donald Norcross (D., N.J.), and Rob Wittman (R., Va.), among others.<\/p>\n<h3>Standing Up to CCP Tech Theft and Transnational Repression<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Chinese Communist Party aggression is global, and the United States and United Kingdom face common economic, military, and ideological threats posed by the CCP,&#8221; Gallagher told the Free Beacon. &#8220;For the sake of both our nations and the sake of the free world, we must work hand in hand to stand up to CCP tech theft, United Front work, transnational repression, and flagrant violations of our sovereignty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The diplomatic push comes as Congress grows increasingly worried that the Biden administration is not doing enough to confront China\u2019s military threats and global spy networks. The chief goal of the trip is to convince America\u2019s closest ally that it is in Britain\u2019s best interest to more forcefully &#8220;fight CCP aggression and malign influence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Top Agenda: Cyberattacks and Clandestine Spy Networks<\/h3>\n<p>The lawmakers will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congressional-leaders-head-to-england-to-find-ally-in-fight-against-china\/\" title=\"Congressional leaders go to England to seek support in the battle against China.\">hold closed-door powwows<\/a> with Britain\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-admin-officials-resign-following-protest-at-capitol-building-which-left-4-people-dead\/\" title=\"Trump admin. officials resign following protest at Capitol Building, which left 4 people dead\">deputy national security adviser<\/a>, its defense minister, and eight members of Parliament. The group will also meet with Google employees working on the company\u2019s DeepMind artificial intelligence project, highlighting the lawmakers\u2019 interest in cutting edge technologies that could help the United States and its allies in a military confrontation with Beijing. China\u2019s cyberattacks and clandestine spy networks will also top the agenda, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-withholds-report-on-hezbollahs-financial-empire\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Withholds Report on Hezbollah\u2019s Financial Empire\">congressional sources familiar<\/a> with the trip.<\/p>\n<h3>Cracking Down on China\u2019s Spy Apparatus<\/h3>\n<p>American authorities arrested two men in April for running a secret CCP police station in New York City. Gallagher and his delegation intend to raise this issue with their British colleagues, so that the two countries can work in tandem to crack down on China\u2019s spy apparatus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The CCP thinks it can divide us, but there are too many of us, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, that see them clearly,&#8221; said a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-republicans-defect-to-advance-biden-nominee-accused-of-lying-about-iran-deal\/\" title=\"Three Republicans Defect To Advance Biden Nominee Accused of Lying About Iran Deal\">senior congressional aide familiar<\/a> with the upcoming trip.<\/p>\n<h3>Hearing on China\u2019s &#8220;Economic Aggression&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Ahead of the trip, Gallagher\u2019s Select Committee on China will hold a hearing on China\u2019s &#8220;economic aggression,&#8221; which sources say will set the stage for the upcoming meetings in Britain. Lawmakers will bring with them a litany of recommendations on how the United States and United Kingdom can cut economic ties with Beijing and interrupt its march toward global supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the last 25 years both parties [in Congress] largely made the same na\u00efve bet on China\u2014that robust economic engagement would lead the Chinese Communist Party to political liberalization,&#8221; Gallagher will say in remarks opening the hearing, according to an advance copy. &#8220;Now the era of wishful thinking is over. The CCP\u2019s economic warfare uses any and all available leverage to coerce us\u2014and it is time to defend ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
