Stop PRC Economic Espionage Act of 2026

This bill changes the federal economic espionage law, which makes it a crime to steal trade secrets to benefit a foreign government or a "foreign instrumentality." Right now, a foreign instrumentality includes an organization that is substantially owned, controlled, sponsored, or run by a foreign government. The bill would add any entity domiciled in a "covered nation" as defined in section 4872 of title 10 of the U.S. Code. Under that law, the covered nations are China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
