Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced a bill Wednesday to require U.S. lobbyists to choose between representing the interests of the United States and those of communist China.
The proposed legislation, dubbed the “CCP Lobbying Divestment Act,” would prohibit U.S. defense contractors from hiring lobbyists registered to represent certain clients—namely, those placed on any federal agencies’ entity lists due to national security concerns. Such entities are subject to export restrictions and other sanctions.
