Designating Chinese Communist Party as Transnational Organized Crime Group

This act aims to officially designate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a transnational organized crime group. This means U.S. law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and the Attorney General, will be able to prosecute the CCP for criminal activities, including racketeering and intellectual property theft, with an extended statute of limitations. For U.S. citizens, this could mean increased protection against harmful CCP actions, such as data theft or economic influence.
