Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) has reintroduced his China Technology Transfer Regulation Act in a bid to prevent the Chinese military from acquiring sensitive U.S. technology and intellectual property through export controls.

The bill, released on the eve of the 34th anniversary of the 1989 pro-democracy protests in the heart of Beijing, aims to control United States exports of certain technology and intellectual property important to national interests to keep it out of the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
