Committee Examines U.S. Interests in Indo-Pacific and the Threat of Chinese Influence
Press Release
Issues: National Security Foreign Affairs
"The United States is a Pacific power through its territories of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa. With over 200,000 American citizens living in these territories we have a vital interest in a free and open Indo-Pacific that is free from maligned influence. America has not forgotten the lessons of World War II and the Cold War, and we will not stand idly by in the face of Chinese Communist Party provocation attacking the sovereignty of our Pacific allies, and interference in U.S. Pacific Island territories."
