Rep. Pat Fallon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 4th district, has put forth a series of statements via social media addressing national security concerns related to China and the U.S. military. Here are his key points made on April 17, 2025.

At 13:56 on April 17, Rep. Fallon stated "There is no reason the US military should be procuring hardware and tech from our adversaries, especially China. My SAFE Supply Chains Act would put an end to this by ensuring we do not buy from grey market sellers that seek to undermine our national security." Rep. Fallon emphasized the need to protect national security by controlling the procurement processes of the U.S. military.

Later on the same day at 16:24, he asserted that "Deterring Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific means getting our domestic shipbuilding capacity back on track. This would be a win for US security and American workers." Rep. Fallon linked domestic manufacturing capabilities directly to strategic security benefits for the country.

Subsequently, at 18:17, he reiterated his stance on China as a national threat, quoting "There's no question that the CCP is the greatest threat facing America today. China’s rising threat requires stronger US forces in the Indo-Pacific. Current troop levels cannot deter CCP aggression. Bolstering military presence is vital for our national security." He advocated for an increased U.S. military presence in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing influence.

Pat Fallon has represented Texas’ 4th District since 2021, succeeding John Ratcliffe. With a background in political service, including terms in the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate, Fallon has consistently addressed security issues. Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1967, Fallon holds a BA from the University of Notre Dame and currently resides in Frisco.
