House Republicans plan to call for higher maximum loan sizes for small manufacturers and hammer the Biden administration’s record on Chinese espionage at a Small Business Committee hearing Wednesday morning.

China’s government “has been allowed to exploit the small businesses that develop cutting-edge technologies, safeguard our nation, and keep America competitive,” Chairman Roger Williams (R-Texas) said in draft points shared first with Bloomberg Government.

The hearing, titled “Defending Main Street: Combating CCP Threats to America’s Small Businesses,” continues Williams’ work contending China hurts domestic supply chains, leads to intellectual property theft and harms American national security. Combating China has been a significant part of House Republicans’ agenda this Congress, most notably on the CCP select committee formed in 2023.
