HOUSTON – Congressman Jim Banks and Texas members and candidates will join Leader McCarthy for a press conference in the Houston area on holding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable under a new Republican majority in the House. Houston has been the target of the CCP’s malign actions for years, and in July 2020, the Chinese Consulate in Houston was closed due to its role in massive illegal spying and influence operations throughout the United States against U.S. government officials and American citizens.
