Broadband Breakfast · last updated

WASHINGTON, June 25, 2025 – At a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing today, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warned that U.S. energy production is under attack by an illicit alliance between the Chinese Communist Party and progressive climate advocacy groups, lawyers, and nonprofit organizations in the U.S.

Cruz at the hearing titled Enter the Dragon—China and the Left’s Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance, stated that the Chinese Communist Party was crippling the nation’s energy independence through waves of litigation.

“We’re witnessing right now a systematic campaign against American energy,” Cruz said. “There is a coordinated assault by the radical left, backed and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party to seize control of our courts and weaponize litigation against our energy producers.’’
