Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) has introduced a bill requiring companies listed on the U.S. stock exchanges to disclose if they have ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“This legislation would provide unprecedented transparency for American investors with respect to CCP investments in publicly traded companies,” Barr said in an Aug. 5 press release.
