Latest action on S. 330: Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. Hearings held.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects China-linked people and companies accused of repeated theft of U.S. intellectual property, and people who benefit from that theft. It also affects senior Chinese Communist Party officials, their spouses and children, Chinese cabinet members, and active-duty members of China’s military. U.S. companies, universities, banks, and agencies could also feel the effects when they deal with sanctioned people, targeted companies, or listed Chinese research institutions.

Why this matters: U.S. companies and researchers can lose money and competitive advantage when valuable ideas, software, inventions, or trade secrets are stolen. This bill tries to respond by targeting money and travel access instead of changing trade rules directly. It could increase pressure on China-linked actors accused of repeated theft. It could also raise tensions with China and affect diplomacy, business travel, academic work, and cooperation in other areas.

Key provisions in S. 330

• The President must freeze all covered property when it is in the United States or controlled by a U.S. person. The bill uses the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the main U.S. law for economic sanctions.
• The bill targets foreign people and companies tied to China if they work in a sector of China’s economy and take part in repeated, serious theft of U.S. intellectual property, or benefit from it.
• Covered foreign individuals could not get U.S. visas, enter the United States, or receive parole, which is special permission to enter temporarily. Any current visa or entry document would be revoked or canceled.
• Violating the asset-freeze rules could bring existing civil and criminal penalties under 50 U.S.C. 1705, the penalty section of the U.S. sanctions law.
• The President may waive sanctions for one person at a time. The President must first tell key congressional committees that the waiver serves U.S. national security and explain why in writing.
