## Summary

**Creates a dedicated DOJ initiative to counter Chinese Communist Party influence, intellectual property theft, and economic espionage.** It would focus on stopping PRC-linked spying, protecting critical infrastructure, and policing transfers of sensitive technology. - Researchers and academic institutions would face expanded scrutiny of so-called "nontraditional collectors." The bill targets researchers, lab personnel, and others who transfer sensitive technology to PRC-based parties. - U.S. businesses and critical infrastructure would get stronger enforcement against trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage. It also directs reviews of PRC-related risks from foreign investments and real estate through the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. - Federal enforcement and oversight would change by creating the CCP Initiative inside DOJ's National Security Division as a separate program with set-aside resources. The initiative would require coordination with the FBI and other agencies, annual reports to Congress with classified annexes, and would sunset six years after enactment.
