SEC. 6303. ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 
PROVISIONS 
OF 
ECONOMIC 
AND 
TRADE 
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE 
GOVERNMENT OF CHINA. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) the Agreement includes significant mandates 
for the People’s Republic of China related to its do-
mestic intellectual property regime, including with 
respect to copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and 
patents; 
(2) the changes included in the Agreement, if im-
plemented effectively, should improve the domestic in-
tellectual property framework of the People’s Republic 
of China, which has historically proven to harm the 
innovation and creative communities in the United 
States; 
(3) despite commitments made by the Govern-
ment of the People’s Republic of China under the
1487 
† HR 4521 EAS 
Agreement, ongoing market access barriers, uneven 
enforcement, measures requiring forced technology 
transfer, and serious deficiencies in the rule of law 
continue to make the business environment in the 
People’s Republic of China highly challenging for 
rights holders in the United States; 
(4) as reflected in the 2021 report by the United 
States Trade Representative required under section 
182(h) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2242(h)) 
(commonly referred to as the ‘‘Special 301 Report’’), 
the People’s Republic of China has consistently been 
listed in that annual report since 1989 as a trading 
partner of the United States that ‘‘fails to provide 
adequate and effective IP protection and enforcement 
for U.S. inventors, creators, brands, manufacturers, 
and service providers, which, in turn, harm American 
workers’’; and 
(5) Congress encourages the United States Trade 
Representative, the Attorney General, the Secretary of 
State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Sec-
retary of Commerce, and the Director of the United 
States Patent and Trademark Office— 
(A) to use all available tools to ensure that 
the People’s Republic of China fully implements 
its commitments under the Agreement; and
1488 
† HR 4521 EAS 
(B) to actively consider additional means to 
require the People’s Republic of China to address 
unfair market access barriers, forced technology 
transfer requirements, and broader intellectual 
property theft concerns, including through future 
trade agreements and working with partners in 
multilateral organizations, such as the Group of 
7 (G7), the Group of 20 (G20), and the World 
Trade Organization. 
(b) ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT.—The President, 
acting through the United States Trade Representative, 
shall coordinate with the heads of such Federal agencies as 
the President considers appropriate to enforce the actions 
related to intellectual property laid out in the Agreement 
including— 
(1) the civil, administrative, and criminal proce-
dures and deterrent-level civil and criminal penalties 
provided in the Agreement; and 
(2) by using the full enforcement authority of the 
President, including any enforcement authority in 
connection with the identification and reporting proc-
ess under section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 
U.S.C. 2242). 
(c) REPORT ON STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF CER-
TAIN OBLIGATIONS.—
1489 
† HR 4521 EAS 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 180 
days thereafter, the United States Trade Representa-
tive shall submit to the appropriate committees of 
Congress a report on the status of the implementation 
by the People’s Republic of China of its obligations 
under Chapter 1 of the Agreement. 
(2) INFORMATION IN REPORT.—Each report re-
quired by paragraph (1) shall contain information 
sufficient to enable the appropriate committees of 
Congress to assess the extent of the compliance by the 
People’s Republic of China with the Agreement, in-
cluding appropriate quantitative metrics. 
(d) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 
(1) AGREEMENT.—The term ‘‘Agreement’’ means 
the Economic and Trade Agreement Between the Gov-
ernment of the United States of America and the Gov-
ernment of China, dated January 15, 2020. 
(2) APPROPRIATE COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS.— 
The term ‘‘appropriate committees of Congress’’ 
means the Committee on Finance of the Senate and

SEC. 6304. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARD-
ING AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE 
ORIGINS OF COVID–19. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) COVID–19 has taken the lives of nearly 
3,500,000 individuals around the world. 
(2) Understanding the origins of the COVID–19 
pandemic 
is 
essential 
to 
addressing 
our 
vulnerabilities and preventing future crises. 
(3) In May 2020, the World Health Assembly did 
not authorize a comprehensive investigation into the 
origins of COVID–19, and instead passed a signifi-
cantly limited compromise resolution, with Chinese 
government support, which did not explicitly include 
in its scope the possibility of a research-related acci-
dent. 
(4) The 2020 World Health Assembly resolution 
and its terms of reference, which were negotiated pri-
vately between the World Health Organization (in 
this section referred to as ‘‘WHO’’) and Chinese au-
thorities, handed the Chinese government control over 
the joint-study process by giving the Chinese govern-
ment veto power over which international experts 
were allowed to participate in the joint study and by 
agreeing that most primary research would be carried
1491 
† HR 4521 EAS 
out by Chinese teams without ensuring broad access 
to primary data by international experts. 
(5) As a result of these terms, the significant 
structural, procedural, and analytical shortcomings of 
the joint study, and the severe restrictions imposed by 
Chinese authorities, the WHO-convened joint study 
into the origins of COVID–19 was prevented from 
providing a balanced consideration of the multiple 
theories of the origin of COVID–19. 
(6) Only 4 of the 313 pages of the joint-study 
team report and its annexes addressed the possibility 
of a laboratory accident, and no thorough examina-
tion of the lab incident hypothesis was carried out by 
the joint-study team. 
(7) Some of the international experts on the 
joint-study team stated that they lacked the means 
and resources to properly investigate the research-re-
lated accident hypothesis, and they were neither able 
nor meant to do such a full investigation but instead 
were acting as a ‘‘study review group’’. 
(8) WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom 
Ghebreyesus commented on March 30, 2021, the day 
the joint-study report was released, ‘‘I do not believe 
that [the joint-study team’s] assessment [of a possible 
lab incident] was extensive enough. Further data and
1492 
† HR 4521 EAS 
studies will be needed to reach more robust conclu-
sions . . . potentially with additional missions in-
volving specialist experts, which I am ready to de-
ploy.’’. 
(9) The WHO Director-General further com-
mented, ‘‘As far as WHO is concerned all hypotheses 
remain on the table . . . We have not yet found the 
source of the virus, and we must continue to follow 
the science and leave no stone unturned as we do . . . 
It is clear that we need more research across a range 
of areas, which will entail further field visits.’’. 
(10) The March 30, 2021 Joint Statement on the 
WHO-convened COVID–19 Origins Study by the 
United States and 13 other countries recognized the 
severe shortcomings of the joint-study process and 
called for ‘‘a transparent and independent analysis 
and evaluation, free from interference and undue in-
fluence.’’. 
(11) In spite of the devastation the COVID–19 
pandemic has caused in the United States and 
around the world, no process currently exists to en-
sure a comprehensive investigation into the source of 
COVID–19. 
(12) Such an investigation is essential for ensur-
ing this type of crisis never happens again for the
1493 
† HR 4521 EAS 
benefit of all people, all nations, and future genera-
tions. 
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that— 
(1) a comprehensive investigation to determine 
the origins of COVID–19 must be conducted by WHO 
immediately, with access to all relevant records, sam-
ples, and personnel in China, and that such inves-
tigation must fully explore all possible sources of the 
COVID–19 pandemic, including exclusively ‘‘natural’’ 
zoonosis in the wild, human contamination in an 
animal farm, and a research-related accident; 
(2) the United States delegation to the World 
Health Assembly should, in concert with allies and 
partners around the world, work to ensure that an 
international scientific investigation into the origins 
of COVID–19, with full access to all relevant records, 
samples, and personnel in China, will be authorized 
by the World Health Assembly and implemented with 
extreme urgency; and 
(3) should such a full investigation not be au-
thorized by the 2021 World Health Assembly, then the 
United States Government should immediately begin 
planning a comprehensive and data-driven investiga-
tion into the COVID–19 pandemic origins, in concert
1494

with willing partner governments and experts around 
the world.
