CCP IP Act

HR 6447, the CCP IP Act, requires the President to impose sanctions on Chinese individuals and entities found to engage in significant intellectual property theft from U.S. persons. Key mechanisms include freezing assets of targeted individuals or organizations and barring them from entering the United States via visa restrictions. The bill also specifically restricts visas for senior Chinese Communist Party officials, their family members, cabinet members, and active-duty military personnel. It mandates reports to Congress within 180 days detailing sanctioned individuals and assessing visa screening effectiveness against IP theft. The law includes provisions for case-by-case sanctions waivers and termination if the Chinese government ceases IP infringement efforts.
