Letter to NSA Sullivan Requesting Assessment of Information Russia Has Shared with the PRC on U.S. Weapons Capabilities in Ukraine

Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sent a letter to National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, requesting an assessment of the information that Russia has shared with the PRC regarding U.S. weapons capabilities and those of our partners and allies. 

In the letter, the Chairman and Ranking Member write, “As you stated on July 9, we should not expect that foreign adversaries, such as the PRC, ‘are supporting Russia for free.’ Rather, we should anticipate and indeed operate under the assumption that Russia is passing information about vulnerabilities or counters to American and allied weapons systems to the PRC in support of its ‘no limits’ partnership.”

Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi and Chairman Moolenaar request the Administration share, at the appropriate classification level, their current determinations and assessments on the information that the PRC has shared with Russia, and the administration’s plans to ensure that the appropriate steps are taken to hold both Russia and the PRC accountable. 

Background:

Chairman Moolenaar and Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi released a statement last week, following the Washington Summit Declaration issued by the NATO allies condemning the Chinese Communist Party for its support of Russia's war in Ukraine.
