Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA) issued the following statement in response to House passage of H. Res. 104, Condemning the Chinese Communist Party’s use of a high-altitude surveillance balloon over United States territory as a brazen violation of United States sovereignty. The measure passed by a vote of 419-0.
“The United States will not tolerate the Chinese Communist Party’s increasing aggression toward our nation and free countries around the world,” said Rep. Steel. “The surveillance balloon was a clear attack on our national security and a continuation of increasing aggression. The CCP has no regard for our national sovereignty and that of our allies. I am glad to see my colleagues on both sides of the aisle come together to condemn this clear violation by the CCP and send a strong message to Beijing – we are united in protecting democracy at home and abroad.”
