Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) has introduced legislation with the aim of stopping the Chinese regime from plundering U.S. intellectual property and trade secrets—by denying visas to people with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Named the Stop China’s IP Theft Act, the bill would prohibit the issuing of visas to senior officials in the CCP, including those in the Politburo, a group of the Party’s 25 most elite members; the Central Committee, comprising the key leadership; delegates to the 19th National Congress, a once-in-five-years Party conclave; and spouses and children of those officials.
