Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) has introduced legislation to protect Americans from what he calls China’s “lawfare” campaign, following a $50 billion lawsuit recently filed against him in a Chinese court.

Schmitt introduced the End Chinese Lawfare Act (S.3574), which would prevent politically motivated judgments by Chinese courts from being enforced in the United States.
