AI Summary

This bill establishes the CCP Initiative program within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice. The program aims to counter nation-state threats from the Chinese Communist Party, curb spying on U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions, and protect critical infrastructure from foreign direct investment and supply chain compromises. The program will be led by a steering committee of senior officials from the Department of Justice and the FBI, and will have goals such as identifying and prosecuting trade secret theft and economic espionage, educating colleges and universities about foreign influence efforts, and implementing the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act.
