Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Blocks assets and travel for Chinese individuals and companies that steal U.S. intellectual property.

This bill would require the President to block assets and deny visas for Chinese individuals and companies found to be stealing intellectual property from U.S. citizens or businesses. It would also ban visas for senior Chinese Communist Party officials, their families, and military members. This aims to protect American inventions and trade secrets from theft.

What Would Change

Today, there are no specific laws requiring the President to sanction Chinese individuals or companies for intellectual property theft, nor are there specific visa bans for senior Chinese officials related to this issue. If this bill becomes law, the President would be required to block assets and deny visas for those involved in significant intellectual property theft from U.S. persons. Additionally, senior Chinese Communist Party officials, their families, and military members would be denied U.S. visas, unless China stops supporting intellectual property infringement.

Key Provisions

Cancels any existing U.S. visas for individuals who are sanctioned for intellectual property theft.
Bans visas for senior Chinese Communist Party officials, their spouses and children, China's cabinet members, and active-duty military personnel.
Allows the President to waive or end sanctions if it's in the U.S. national security interest or if the theft stops.
