The House passed a bill on Dec. 10 to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to form a new working group within the department to track national security threats posed by the People’s Republic of China and its ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Dubbed the “Strategic Homeland Intelligence and Enforcement Legislation to Defend Against the CCP Act,” or SHIELD Against CCP Act, the bill calls for a new DHS working group to track ways the CCP may be exploiting U.S. border, port, transportation, and cyber security vulnerabilities.
