Austin, TX – House Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul issued the following statement on being sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in response to the chairman's delegation trip to Taiwan last week.

Ironically, this baseless action serves U.S. interests by bringing more attention to our international partners and revealing the CCP's blatant aggression."
