Young Kim Leads Bill to Deter CCP Aggression Against Taiwan May 7, 2026 | Press Releases WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40), Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on East Asia and the Pacific, introduced the Deter PRC Aggression Against Taiwan Act to put Beijing on notice and ensure the United States has a coordinated sanctions strategy ready should the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) move to take physical or political control of Taiwan. The legislation establishes an interagency task force, or “Tiger Team,” to evaluate existing and new sanctions authorities and other economic measures, identify PRC targets of such sanctions, and improve allied economic coordination to deter aggression against Taiwan. “Xi Jinping has directed the People’s Liberation Army to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. China has a plan. America should have one too,” said Rep. Young Kim. “Deterrence only works if our adversaries know we are prepared to act decisively. This bill sends a clear message to Beijing: any move against Taiwan will come with swift, coordinated, and devastating economic consequences.” “China’s aggression threatens not just Taiwan, but the broader stability of the Indo-Pacific,” said Rep. Olszewski . I’m proud to co-lead this bill to ensure the United States is ready with a coordinated and effective response if Beijing uses force against Taiwan. The best way to prevent conflict is to be fully prepared before it starts.” This legislation will establish a China Sanctions Task Force led by the State Department and Treasury Department to: Identify PRC-linked entities, industries, and individuals to target with sanctions in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan; Prepare coordinated sanctions and economic response strategies before a crisis occurs; Align sanctions planning

Young Kim Leads FLEETS Now Act to Counter China’s Grip on Global Shipbuilding and Restore U.S. Maritime Dominance Apr 30, 2026 | Press Releases WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40) introduced the Facilitating Leadership and Expertise through Exchange and Training in Shipbuilding (FLEETS) Now Act to counter China’s unfair shipbuilding practices and rebuild America’s maritime industry. China controls over 50 percent of the global shipbuilding industry, funneling that revenue directly into the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) naval buildup. The FLEETS Now Act counters this threat by strengthening U.S. shipbuilding capacity, ensuring maritime regulations reflect American interests, aligning US departments and agencies to work more efficiently together, and bolstering partnerships with trusted allies to restore American competitiveness at sea. “The Chinese Communist Party has spent decades rigging the global shipbuilding market, converting billions in foreign revenue into their own military, and hollowing out American maritime capacity,” said Rep. Young Kim. “That ends today. An America First economy means American ships, American workers, and American strength on land and at sea in partnership with our trusted allies. The FLEETS Now Act takes direct aim at Beijing’s chokehold by rebuilding our shipbuilding base and ensuring the United States—not China—sets the course for global commerce and security.” “American Samoa stands alone, far from the rest of the country. We rely on international shipping companies for everyday items that many Americans take for granted,” said Rep. Radewagen. “Expanding the ability for the United States to purchase ships built by friendly countries can promote the safety and prosperity of our island home

Participants shared firsthand accounts of the brutal conditions, systemic repression, and constant surveillance faced by the North Korean people. Their testimonies underscored the moral urgency for Congress to act and made clear why lawmakers must pass the North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2025, Chairwoman Kim’s legislation to reauthorize and strengthen the landmark North Korean Human Rights Act first enacted in 2004. “Kim Jong Un knows nothing but power and is hellbent on lining his own pockets and expanding his nuclear arsenal at the expense of his own people. The gross human rights abuses perpetuated on the North Korean people cannot be tolerated,” said Chairwoman Kim. “Hearing directly from defectors is a powerful reminder of what’s at stake and why we must stand with the freedom-loving people trapped under this brutal regime. I’m proud to lead the North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act to ensure the United States continues to take action and hold Kim Jong Un accountable.” Read more about the North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act HERE .

Young Kim Leads Resolution Condemning Targeted Attack on President Donald J. Trump and His Administration, Calls Out Rising Political Violence Apr 27, 2026 | Press Releases WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40) introduced a resolution condemning the politically motivated attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which targeted President Donald J. Trump and other senior U.S. government officials. The resolution follows a string of politically motivated assassination attempts and a growing wave of violent political extremism. On April 25, a gunman armed with multiple weapons opened fire at the Washington Hilton, explicitly targeting President Trump and members of his administration before being stopped bythe United States Secret Service. “This attack is not an isolated incident. This is yet another attempt at our President’s life and part of a far more concerning trend of political violence that has been completely normalized,” said Rep. Young Kim . “We have seen escalating rhetoric over the years demonizing President Trump and anyone who supports him. Now we’re seeing the consequences play out in real time. We cannot allow this violent rhetoric to go unchecked. Political violence has no place in America.” In response to these events, Rep. Young Kim’s resolution: Condemns political violence in the strongest possible terms; Commends the bravery of the United States Secret Service and law enforcement officers who acted swiftly to protect lives; Calls out the growing threat of politically motivated attacks and holds those who fuel division accountable; Urges Congress to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security so the Secret Service has the resources needed to protect our nation’s leaders.
