Joint Statement on Transatlantic Unity on China
.png)
As members of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), the U.S. House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), we reaffirm our shared commitment to strengthening cooperation between democracies in response to the growing challenges posed by the People’s Republic of China under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party - an authoritarian regime that seeks to reshape the global order on its terms.
The CCP is carrying out a coordinated campaign to undermine democratic institutions, pressure open societies, and coerce economies through foreign interference, strategic investment, and military aggression. Its actions in the Taiwan Strait, in support of the war in Ukraine, across the Indo-Pacific, and within international institutions reflect a deliberate effort to chip away at the norms that have underpinned global stability for decades.
In the face of rising authoritarianism, division among democracies is not an option. That’s why we are committed to deepening our coordination across the Atlantic and beyond - to protect our shared values, strengthen collective resilience, and ensure the free world stands united in defending a peaceful, rules-based international order.
This is a generational challenge. But together, with clarity and resolve, we can meet it—and pass on a legacy of freedom and security to future generations.
