The House passed two bills on March 10 aimed at safeguarding the United States from threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

One measure, the Strategic Homeland Intelligence and Enforcement Legislation to Defend Against the CCP Act (H.R.708), or SHIELD Against CCP Act, would establish a new working group within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to track ways the Chinese regime may be exploiting U.S. border, transportation, ports, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
