Seven Republican senators have reintroduced legislation aiming to bar Chinese military scientists from entering or remaining in the United States.

The bill (pdf), called the “People’s Liberation Army Visa Security Act,” intends to prohibit the issuance of U.S. student or research visas to individuals employed or sponsored by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
