The legislation requires robots made by China and other foreign adversaries to be reviewed for national security threats and prohibits those found to be a threat from being imported into the United States. "The GUARD Act levels the playing field against China and ensures we have a homegrown, world-leading robotics industry in America. Right now, the CCP is working to bankrupt American robot makers while its own industry races ahead. Chinese robots are not benign technologies, but a calculated bid to harm us from within and they must be banned to protect Americans," said Moolenaar . "This emerging critical threat sounds like science fiction, but it is a dangerous reality, and Congress must pass the GUARD Act to stop it.

Moolenaar urged Congress to pass the GUARD Act, which would review robots made by China and other foreign adversaries for national security threats and ban imports of those deemed threats.
