Expelling Illegal Chinese Police: Sanctions and Asset Blocking
This bill aims to protect US national security by imposing sanctions on Chinese police departments and individuals attempting to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States. US citizens may experience increased security as the act seeks to block the activities of foreign services that could monitor or intimidate individuals living in the US. Sanctions include asset blocking and a ban on entry to the US for those associated with these activities, including their immediate family members.
Key points
Security: Sanctions are introduced to remove illegal Chinese police presence that could threaten the safety and rights of US citizens.
Finance and Assets: Property and interests in property of Chinese police departments and their senior leadership located in the US will be blocked.
Immigration: Individuals associated with the illegal Chinese police presence, including their employees and immediate family, will be ineligible for visas or entry to the US, and their current visas will be revoked.
Waivers: The President may temporarily waive sanctions if deemed vital to the national security interests of the United States.
