tv_txt: I 116th CONGRESS 2d Session H. R. 12 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 20, 2020 Mr. McCarthy (for himself, Mr. Riggleman , Mr. Walden , Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania , Ms. Granger , Mr. Gonzalez of Ohio , Mr. Curtis , Mr. Banks , Mr. Waltz , Mr. Reschenthaler , Mr. Lucas , Mr. Stewart , Mr. Gallagher , Mr. McCaul , Mr. Kinzinger , Mr. LaHood , Ms. Stefanik , Mr. Barr , and Ms. Cheney ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs , and in addition to the Committees on Science, Space, and Technology , Financial Services , the Judiciary , Ways and Means , Agriculture , Natural Resources , Energy and Commerce , Armed Services , Education and Labor , the Budget , Intelligence (Permanent Select) , Transportation and Infrastructure , Oversight and Reform , House Administration , Small Business , and Homeland Security , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned A BILL To enact a comprehensive legislative response to the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party to the United States of America and to freedom, democracy, and human rights around the world.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the China Task Force Act or the CTF Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is completely committed to a hostile communist ideology in which individuals exist to serve the state, enjoying rights and freedoms only at the state’s discretion. (2) The CCP applies this ideology onto the People’s Republic of China (PRC) through a system of government called socialism with Chinese characteristics , the main tenet of which is the absolute totalitarianism of the CCP. CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping recently described this political system by writing the Party, the government, the military, the people, and academia—east, west, south, north, and center—the Party leads everything . (3) The CCP’s adherence to communist ideology and its application of this ideology through totalitarianism drives its persistently malign conduct as the CCP seeks to eliminate perceived threats to the security of its regime. (4) The CCP has legally defined the national security of the PRC as the absence of international or domestic threats to the state’s power , enshrining in law its belief that the CCP will not be secure until all threats foreign and domestic are eliminated, a concept which requires external aggression. (5) The CCP considers constitutional democracy, internationally recognized human rights, free markets, independent journalism, and internal dissent to be security threats. (6) It is a bedrock American principle that the United States Government is not built to grant rights, but to protect rights inalienable to every human being, and furthermore that the infringement of such rights anywhere is unjust. (7) Driven by its hostile communist ideology and enabled by decades of foreign policy from the United States and likeminded democracies which disregarded this ideology, the CCP has risen to become the United States prevailing economic and national security threat of this generation. (8) The CCP’s malign conduct, its threat to American interests and values, and its fundamental illegitimacy as a means of governing one-fifth of mankind all ultimately derive from the CCP’s hostile communist ideology. As in the United States prior great power competition with a communist superpower, the United States goal should be the end of the CCP’s monopoly on power, rather than indefinite coexistence with a fundamentally hostile communist state. (9) The theory that unprincipled economic entanglement with the PRC’s CCP-controlled economy would induce economic and political liberalization while contributing to United States interests has been proven false. Decisive action is required to stop the CCP from further exploiting the United States economy, defend United States national security interests, impose costs on the CCP’s malign actions, and uphold American values. 3.
