Bill > HR8764

This bill, known as the Stop China's IP Theft Act, aims to prohibit certain members of the Chinese Communist Party, including senior officials, their spouses and children, cabinet members, and active-duty military personnel, from entering the United States until the Chinese government ceases its efforts to infringe on the intellectual property rights of U.S. citizens and companies. The bill is based on findings that China has been perpetrating widespread intellectual property theft, including by sending Chinese military scientists to study in the U.S. as part of a broader effort to collect military technology. The bill would restrict the issuance of visas and entry to the U.S. for these targeted individuals, with an exception if the Director of National Intelligence certifies that China has stopped its IP theft activities.
