Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo Accountability Act
This bill mandates sanctions against five specific Chinese Communist Party Politburo members (He Lifeng, Zhao Leji, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi) within 180 days of enactment. It authorizes the President to impose asset freezes and bar entry to the U.S. for any senior CCP official found to have engaged in activities like disinformation campaigns, intellectual property theft, threats to Taiwan's sovereignty, or religious persecution. The sanctions include blocking U.S. assets and revoking visas, with penalties for violations. The bill requires the President to implement these measures by a specific deadline, though it expires on January 1, 2026.
