Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act of 2025

This bill establishes the CCP Initiative within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice, aiming to counter nation-state threats, particularly from the Chinese Communist Party. Its core purpose is to curb spying on United States intellectual property and academic institutions, while also developing enforcement strategies against the illicit transfer of technology by non-traditional collectors. The Initiative will implement amendments to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) authorities and prioritize the identification and prosecution of those engaged in trade secret theft , hacking, and economic espionage. It also focuses on protecting critical infrastructure from foreign direct investment risks and investigating investments by Chinese companies identified on the Entity List or as military entities. Operating with dedicated resources and independently from other Department of Justice initiatives, the CCP Initiative mandates annual reporting to Congress. These reports will detail its progress, resource utilization, coordination effectiveness, and assess the economic loss to the United States resulting from the Chinese Communist Party's illicit activities.
