Statement

Date: May 12, 2020
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Defense Criminal Justice

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the below statement regarding the arrest of University of Arkansas Professor Simon Saw-Teong Ang. He was charged with wire fraud after he failed to disclose his ties to the Chinese government and Chinese companies:

"The charge against Simon Ang is serious, and I support both the DOJ's and FBI's efforts in this matter. This situation further demonstrates a known reality: China is actively working to target every aspect of American enterprise. From our supply chain to academia, they are employing all tools to try and subvert our institutions and steal proprietary information. The Chinese Communist Party -- and anyone supporting their hostile and illegal efforts -- must be held accountable."
