Our intelligence agencies have disclosed proof of massive Chinese computer hacking operations that have targeted America and other nations. These targets include not only our military but our manufacturing, biotechnology, telecommunications, nanotechnology and clean-energy industries. Officials claim the theft of this technology is draining $400 billion from our economy each year and costing millions of American jobs. Corporate executives accuse China of committing the biggest theft in history. China uses several methods to obtain U.S. technology including espionage, exploiting corporations, and a network of academic, scientific and business contacts. A 2020 report from our Justice Dept. said this about one recent hack: I oppose reforming current intellectual property theft policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA). I support revising trade, finance and tax provisions with respect to China by: 1.) Prohibiting the export of certain U.S. technology and intellectual property to China. 2.) Placing a shareholder cap on Chinese investments in certain U.S. corporations. 3.) Prohibiting Federal agencies from using or procuring telecommunications equipment or services from Huawei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, or any other entity reasonably believed to be owned or controlled by China. 4.) Repealing certain reduced withholding rates for residents of China, tax income received by China from certain U.S. investments, and tax income derived from certain Chinese investments. 5.) Allowing U.S. courts to hear cases against certain entities or corporate affiliates of a foreign state. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Tim Ryan (OH) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
