Revoking Security Clearances for Ex-Defense Officials Lobbying for China.

This bill aims to protect national security by preventing former Department of Defense (DoD) personnel from exploiting their classified knowledge. If retired military members or former civilian employees lobby on behalf of entities identified as Chinese military companies, they will automatically lose their security clearances. This tightens restrictions on post-service employment involving foreign entities linked to the Chinese military complex.
Key points
Former DoD personnel lose access to classified information if they engage in lobbying for designated Chinese military companies listed by the government.
The goal is to prevent the exploitation of sensitive knowledge by entities connected to the Chinese military-industrial complex.
The Secretary of Defense can only grant a temporary waiver (up to 180 days) if certified as vital to US national security interests.
