Bill > HR7457

This bill, the Hold CCP Accountable Act of 2022, aims to hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable for the COVID-19 pandemic. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Establishing lists of foreign countries based on their compliance with international reporting and monitoring of outbreaks of novel viruses and diseases, and authorizing the President to take actions against countries on the "Tier 2" list that do not meet the requirements. 2. Waiving the sovereign immunity of foreign states that fail to abide by international reporting requirements or intentionally mislead the international community on a health crisis, allowing them to be sued in U.S. courts. 3. Imposing sanctions on government officials of foreign countries on the "Tier 2" list who are responsible for concealing or distorting information about a public health emergency. 4. Prohibiting certain Chinese companies from being listed on U.S. stock exchanges and restricting investment in them by U.S. entities. 5. Revoking China's "most-favored-nation" trade status and seeking to remove China from the World Trade Organization. 6. Opposing further lending to China by multilateral development banks, such as the World Bank, given China's economic status and ability to self-finance development.
