Bill > HR1468

This bill establishes the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Initiative within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice, aimed at countering national security threats from China. The initiative has several key objectives: preventing Chinese espionage on U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions, developing strategies to stop technology transfers that harm U.S. interests, implementing existing laws like the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, and identifying cases of trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage involving Chinese companies. The CCP Initiative will be a standalone program with dedicated resources, separate from other Justice Department programs, and will be responsible for investigating investments by Chinese companies on specific U.S. government watchlists. The Attorney General is required to submit an annual report to congressional committees detailing the initiative's progress, including its effectiveness in combating economic espionage, coordination with other agencies, and the economic impact of Chinese technological theft. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the initiative will automatically expire six years after its enactment, and contains a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is found unconstitutional, the rest of the legislation remains in effect.
