US auto workers union urges Congress to keep its eye on Chinese automakers
The union said Congress should preserve oversight as lawmakers weigh a permanent ban on Chinese autos and related supply-chain risks.
- On Wednesday, The United Auto Workers urged House leadership to maintain the House China Select Committee as Democrats prepare to take control in January, citing concerns about Chinese automakers.
- Republican Representative John Moolenaar has led the committee in investigating China-related issues, including Ford Motor's partnership with CATL and a planned $2.4 billion Gotion facility in Michigan.
- Warning of a 'dangerous reliance on Chinese supply chains,' the UAW told House leaders that Congress must ensure China does 'not gain a foothold in the US market.'
- Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said this week he would meet with Democratic leaders to discuss the committee's future, while major automakers including General Motors and Toyota are lobbying Congress for an auto ban this year.
- On Tuesday, Senator Bernie Moreno told Reuters he was getting 'really, really close' to a deal on a separate bill, hoping for a Senate vote as early as next week.
