Republicans are pushing for a new law that would revive the Justice Department’s China Initiative, which was scuttled by the Biden administration, and they are seeking to rebrand it as a “CCP Initiative.'
The DOJ announced in February that it would pull the plug on the 2018 initiative aimed at cracking down on China's economic espionage following a year of criticism from fellow Democrats, hundreds of university professors, left-wing activists, and the CCP itself.
He added: “I’m proud to lead this bill to reestablish the CCP Initiative, which will again be dedicated to protecting the United States's intellectual property and our academic institutions from spying and interference by one of our greatest adversaries.” "We helped give rise to a harmful perception that the Department of Justice applies a lower standard to investigate and prosecute criminal conduct related to that country or that we in some way view people with racial, ethnic, or familial ties to China differently," he said, even as he acknowledged that China poses an"evolving, significant threat.
The China Initiative was shut down in February, sandwiched between the DOJ unveiling a domestic terrorism unit in January and announcing a special task force to target Russian oligarchs in March.
