Four Republican U.S. senators have introduced a proposal that aims to provide greater scrutiny of visas for Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members.

It would ban the issuance of nonimmigrant visas to the 93 million CCP members, according to a Nov. 17 statement by Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the bill’s primary sponsor.
