Stopping Genetic Monitoring by China: Export Controls and Sanctions.
This law establishes strict export controls on US genetic analysis technology, such as DNA sequencers and testing kits, destined for China and other designated adversarial countries. The goal is to prevent the misuse of this technology for human rights abuses and citizen monitoring. Furthermore, it imposes financial and visa sanctions on foreign companies and their leadership involved in these activities.
Key points
Bans the export of critical genetic technology (e.g., DNA sequencers) to China, Russia, Iran, and other covered countries unless clear evidence shows it will not be used for human rights abuses.
Imposes financial sanctions (blocking US assets) and travel bans on foreign companies and their officers engaged in genetic monitoring or supplying related equipment in the covered countries.
The sanctions target specific Chinese research institutes, universities, and technology companies involved in genetic monitoring for public security purposes.
