Report on CCP leaders' wealth
This bill would require the Director of National Intelligence to prepare and publish a report on the wealth of Chinese Communist Party Central Committee members and the head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, including their immediate family. The unclassified report would be posted on an ODNI public website and a version submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The first report would be due not later than 180 days after enactment and again within 180 days after a new Central Committee is appointed. It would prioritize the General Secretary, members of the Politburo Standing Committee and full Politburo, provincial-level Party Secretaries, and members of the Central Military Commission. The report would include documentation and, where available, photographs of assets such as real estate inside and outside the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau), yachts, luxury vehicles, private aircraft, business holdings, investments, and foreign financial accounts. It would identify financial proxies, business associates, or entities used to obscure ownership, including those referenced in ODNI's March 20, 2025 report. ODNI could include nonpublic intelligence information consistent with protecting sources and methods and may submit a classified annex. The report must also assess how cooperatively each relevant intelligence community component provided information for the report.
