This bill directs the President to control exports, re-exports, and transfers to the People’s Republic of China of defined “covered national interest” technology and intellectual property originating in or subject to United States jurisdiction. It requires an interagency report on whether controls should be implemented under ITAR or the Export Administration Regulations, directs the President to issue implementing regulations, and authorizes blocking sanctions under IEEPA against foreign or Chinese persons who knowingly transfer, purchase, or use such covered technology or IP in violation.
Liberals emphasize civil liberties and academic-exchange safeguards.
