A bipartisan group of House representatives has introduced a bill to investigate Beijing’s influence operations around the world, saying that the step is necessary to protect Americans from the communist regime’s threats globally.
The proposed legislation would direct the director of national intelligence to examine the “national security implications of increased foreign malign influence” by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to the bill’s text released by the office of Rep. Derek Tran (D-Calif.) on March 18.
