AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Attorney General to designate the Chinese Communist Party as a transnational organized crime group, and the FBI Director to list it as a top international criminal organization for the Department of Justice. Within 90 days, the Attorney General would report to congressional foreign affairs and intelligence committees on racketeering activity committed or aided by the Party, with recommendations for penalties under federal racketeering law. The bill would allow racketeering prosecutions involving the Party for up to 15 years after the activity. It would also remove foreign sovereign immunity protections from the Party during racketeering investigations or charges.
