In plain English
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) sponsored this bill to establish a CCP Initiative within the Justice Department's National Security Division to combat Chinese government espionage, theft of U.S. intellectual property and trade secrets, and threats to critical infrastructure. The initiative will prioritize prosecuting trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage; protecting critical infrastructure; and identifying intellectual property theft from U.S. businesses, while also developing enforcement strategies against nontraditional collectors like university researchers who transfer technology to China and addressing China-related risks from foreign investments in U.S. companies and real estate. The CCP Initiative will terminate six years after the bill becomes law.
