Stop Funding the CCP through A-Shares Act

This bill prohibits U.S. investors from purchasing or selling securities listed on Chinese stock exchanges (Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing), which the bill claims are connected to the Chinese Communist Party's military and security apparatus. It requires U.S. persons to divest from these securities within 180 days of enactment. The law imposes civil penalties of up to $250,000 or twice the transaction amount, and criminal penalties including up to 20 years in prison for individuals and fines up to $25 million for organizations. The bill also requires the Treasury Secretary to submit regular reports to Congress on implementation and U.S. investments in China. This legislation directly affects U.S. investors, financial institutions, and investment managers who hold or trade these specific Chinese securities.
