House Dems Reintroduce China Sanctions Bill

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., reintroduced a bill last week that he said would give the administration “explicit authority” to sanction any Chinese entity or person who knowingly supports Russia’s war in Ukraine. The bill, which has more than 10 Democratic co-sponsors, also would authorize certain sanctions against those who Russia evade U.S. sanctions. The sanctions in the Deter PRC Support to the Russian War Effort Act include financial designations, certain investment restrictions, procurement prohibitions and more. The bill also was introduced during the last Congress.
