Manufacturing: a tax credit and Chinese-controlled firms
What they say
In an op-ed his House office quoted in April 2025, he wrote that the tax code should support American manufacturing and workers, not companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
“our tax code should support American manufacturing and American workers – not enrich companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.”
What the record shows ·
He sponsored a bill in August 2024 (H.R. 9338), and again in April 2025 as the Safeguarding U.S. Supply Chains Act (H.R. 2871), to deny the advanced manufacturing production credit for parts made by a foreign entity of concern. Both stopped at referral to the Ways and Means Committee. A restriction of the same kind became law in the 2025 reconciliation act, which he voted for (Roll Calls 145 and 190): its section 70514 denies that credit to specified foreign entities and to parts with material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity. The same section ends the credit for wind components made and sold after 2027.
Limit: His own bills never moved. The restriction that became law is worded differently and sits inside a much larger act, so his vote was on the whole act, not this section alone.
