New Bill Targets Chinese Infiltration of American Aviation
US Representative Pat Harrigan has introduced the General Aviation Protection (GAP) Act of 2026, aimed at blocking Chinese access to American aviation. The bill seeks to restrict Chinese entities from acquiring American general aviation companies, which could compromise national security and the defense supply chain. The GAP Act would require a review of investments in general aviation by countries of concern, including China, and mandate a federal review of aviation real estate. This move comes as concerns grow about Chinese infiltration of American airspace and aviation, as reported by The Daily Signal.
