House Republicans announced this week that they are working on new legislation that would increase punitive economic measures against China for its continued espionage efforts in the United States.

Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) said that the new Chinese espionage bill is intended to shore up what Republicans saw as weaknesses in the Biden administration’s China policies.
