Israel should beware of Chinese Communist Party - US House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy

Jerusalem – Israel should be cautious in taking steps to increase cooperation with the Communist regime of China. Chinese investment in Israel’s infrastructure could pose a threat to Israel as well as Israeli technological research. China can steal Israel’s technology and research, warned the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy. At the same time, McCarthy announced that the necessary funding for Israel’s security would continue as long as the US House of Representatives is there.

In 1998, Newt Gingrich visited Israel as the US House of Representatives Speaker and addressed the Israeli Parliament. The US House of Representatives Speaker has not visited the Israeli Parliament since then. McCarthy addressed the Israeli Parliament as an American speaker for the first time in 25 years. At this time, McCarthy highlighted the threat to Israel’s security from Iran and China.

Moreover, a new threat to our research has arisen from the Communist Party of China. China is creating the impression that it is a champion of advanced technology and research. But in real terms, China’s activities are like thieves. ‘We must try to prevent China from stealing our technology,’ McCarthy said in his speech to the Israeli Parliament.

In 2019, Israel adopted a policy of vetting foreign investment, McCarthy praised. But McCarthy called for stricter and more thorough investigations into foreign investment in Israel, including Chinese investment. At the same time, McCarthy announced that the US would continue to support Israel against the threat of Iran and China. McCarthy testified that as long as he is the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, the funding necessary for Israel’s security will never stop. Biden supporters have criticized McCarthy’s visit to Israel.
