Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Schiff Statement on U.S.-China Cyber Agreement

Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement:

“President Xi’s commitment to neither conduct nor support cyber espionage for commercial gain is long overdue.  No nation has done more to advance its economic interests through the theft of the work product of others than China, at tremendous cost to American businesses and jobs. I  remain skeptical that China will deliver on this promise, and believe it will be necessary to impose a series of increasing consequences on Chinese businesses that continue to profit from the theft of American research and development. But if curbing cyber theft is a journey of a thousand miles, perhaps China has taken a first step."
