Rep. Greg Steube on Intel Roundtable Panel in Tampa, FL.<\/p>\n
TAMPA, FLORIDA \u2014\u00a0U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) today co-moderated a roundtable panel\u00a0alongside House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford to examine the growing counterintelligence threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the state of Florida.<\/p>\n
The event brought together federal and state elected officials, local law enforcement, along with public- and private-sector partners for classified and unclassified discussions on identifying and countering CCP-related threats to our state. Elected officials in attendance included U.S. Representatives Kat Cammack and Kathy Castor, as well as members of the Florida Legislature.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a pleasure to participate in today\u2019s panel with House Intel Committee Chairman Rick Crawford in Tampa to discuss the growing counterintelligence threats the Chinese Communist Party poses to Florida,\u201d said\u00a0Rep. Greg Steube. \u201cAs we discussed today, the CCP is actively working to undermine American security and expand its influence inside our country. Florida\u2019s critical infrastructure and strategic importance make it a high value target, placing our state on the front lines. We must proactively address these threats in a forceful and unified manner.\u201d<\/p>\n
These discussions focused on how the CCP is working to exploit vulnerabilities in Florida, ranging from efforts to buy land near sensitive military installations to carrying out cyber intrusions and influence operations that threaten the security of our state and nation. Participants also addressed the need for stronger coordination between federal, state, and local partners to confront these growing Chinese counterintelligence threats.<\/p>\n
As a Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Steube\u00a0remains committed to fighting for\u00a0policies that protect America\u2019s national security, defend Florida communities, and prevent foreign adversaries like China from exploiting the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 07, 2026 | Press Releases Rep.
