U.S. would block assets and visas for Chinese police tied to operations in America.

This bill would impose financial and travel restrictions on Chinese police departments and their leaders if they are involved in setting up police operations in the U.S. It would also block visas for their employees and immediate family members. The goal is to counter a Chinese police presence in the United States.

What Would Change

Currently, there are no specific laws that mandate sanctions against police departments in the People's Republic of China or individuals trying to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States. If this bill becomes law, the President would be required to block assets and revoke visas for these groups and individuals, and U.S. federal agencies would be restricted from participating in certain investigations related to them.

Key Provisions

Blocks property and financial interests of Chinese provincial and municipal police departments.
Blocks property and financial interests of senior leaders of sanctioned Chinese police departments.
Blocks property and financial interests of foreign persons helping establish a Chinese police presence in the United States.
Blocks property and financial interests of foreign persons acting under China's United Front Work Department to monitor people in the U.S.
Bans employees of sanctioned Chinese police groups and their immediate families from getting U.S. visas or entering the country.
Revokes existing U.S. visas for these individuals and their immediate family members.
