Raja Update 7/2

 

Dear Sandeep,

Congressman Raja wrote an op-ed for Newsweek about China's place in the world economy and the manufacturing sector. He wrote, "World leaders are faced with a strategic choice that will define global prosperity and our national security for a generation. As China faces an economic slowdown at home, Beijing is doubling down on its drive to be the world's manufacturing superpower and exporting the resulting overcapacity at artificially low prices. Surges of cheap Chinese exports are poised to devastate market-constrained producers in the United States and around the world."

Later, Congressman Raja appeared on WGN with Lisa Dent to discuss securing funding for Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley, among other topics. He said, "I was able to secure almost $1 million in funding for Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley... to be able to help in some meaningful way to get people into homes is a big deal."

Lastly, Congressman Raja had a wide-ranging conversation with Sinocism discussing, among other things, problems with certain American private investments in Chinese companies. He noted, "There is still a lot of money being invested by venture capital, as well as private equity into companies that either perpetrate human rights abuses or are engaged in military modernization of the PLA [the Chinese Military]."

We will continue to bring you news about Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi's work in D.C. and Illinois.
