On June 5 and 6, 2025, U.S. Representatives Riley Moore and Elise Stefanik introduced legislative efforts aimed at countering security risks posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Rep. Moore's Stop CCP VISAs Act seeks to halt the issuance of all student visas to Chinese nationals, citing concerns over espionage and national security threats related to the annual admission of approximately 300,000 Chinese students.

Rep. Stefanik reintroduced the Drones for First Responders Act, which aims to end reliance on Chinese-manufactured drones by promoting American manufacturing and enhancing national security. The bill has garnered support from several lawmakers, including Reps. Moolenaar, LaHood, and Rob Wittman, as well as endorsements from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). The legislation intends to provide enforceable incentives to improve safety and build the U.S. industrial base for drone technology. Additionally, concerns were raised about China's influence in American universities, with calls to cease funding collaborations that may aid China's military research and development. These legislative initiatives reflect ongoing efforts by U.S. lawmakers to address perceived threats from China in areas of technology, education, and national security.
