“China has national security laws that compel Chinese companies to provide the government with information and access at their government's request.

“Our mission is simple, but profound - to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. That mission hasn't changed, and it won't change, not as long as I have anything to say about it.”
“We need to hold ourselves accountable for the work we do and the choices we make.”
