This bill would require the Director of National Intelligence, working with other intelligence agencies through the National Intelligence Council, to produce an assessment of foreign malign influence activities carried out outside the United States by the Chinese Communist Party from January 1, 2023, through a three-year period. The assessment would cover activities in the Indo-Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and Europe, including effects on U.S. alliances, perceptions of the United States, and financial systems, as well as trends. The Director would send initial findings to certain congressional committees within 90 days of the law taking effect and the full assessment within 180 days. The reports would be unclassified but could include a classified annex.
