CCP IP Act

This bill would require the President to impose sanctions on Chinese individuals and companies found to operate in a sector of China's economy where they have engaged in a pattern of significant theft of intellectual property from U.S. persons, or received such stolen property. Sanctions would include blocking their property in the United States and barring them from visas and entry, with current visas revoked. The President could waive sanctions case by case for national security reasons or end them if the person stops stealing intellectual property. The bill would also bar visas and entry for senior Chinese Communist Party officials and their spouses and children, Chinese cabinet members, and active-duty members of China's military, unless the President certifies that China's government has stopped supporting intellectual property theft. It would require reports to Congress within 180 days.
