This bill mandates the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to produce an intelligence community assessment regarding foreign malign influence activities undertaken by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) outside the United States. The assessment will cover a three-year period beginning January 1, 2023, and will analyze the effects of these activities on United States alliances, global perceptions of the U.S., and financial systems in key regions such as the Indo-Pacific, African continent, Latin America, and Europe. It also requires an examination of trends and other national security implications affecting U.S. and allied interests. The DNI is required to submit an initial report containing preliminary findings to appropriate congressional committees within 90 days of the bill's enactment. A final report , encompassing the complete intelligence community assessment, must be submitted within 180 days. Both reports are to be provided in an unclassified format, with the option of including a classified annex, to ensure congressional oversight of the CCP's malign influence.
