More than 90 GNC stores reportedly continue to operate on U.S. military installations despite the company being owned by a Chinese firm.
I’ve pushed to close this loophole because it never made sense that a company ultimately owned by an adversarial nation could maintain a retail presence inside the gate of American military bases. Our servicemembers are constantly reminded to protect sensitive information, yet a Chinese-owned retailer has been allowed access to the very communities we ask them to defend.
American military installations exist to support readiness and national security, not provide a foothold for companies owned by our adversaries.
