## Summary

**Targeted sanctions** would punish actors tied to repeated theft of U.S. intellectual property and would also block visas for senior leaders and military figures from the People's Republic of China (PRC). This creates a two-part tool of economic penalties and immigration limits to deter and respond to systematic IP theft. - U.S. inventors and companies would gain a new enforcement tool. The bill would allow asset freezes and bans on transactions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to constrain parties that steal American IP. - Designated PRC individuals and entities would face broad asset blocking, bans on transactions with U.S. persons, ineligibility for U.S. visas, and immediate revocation of existing visas. The President could grant case-by-case waivers or end sanctions if doing so serves national security or the person stops theft. - Senior PRC political and military leaders, plus their spouses and children and cabinet members, would be barred from U.S. entry and visa issuance, with an annual exception if the President certifies the PRC has stopped sponsoring IP infringement. The bill would also require reports to Congress within 180 days identifying designated persons and assessing visa-screening effectiveness.
