SHIELD Against CCP Act

Bill 119 HR 708, also known as the "Countering Chinese Communist Party Threats Act," aims to address various security threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the United States. The bill proposes the establishment of a working group within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that will focus on countering terrorist activities, cybersecurity threats, border and port security issues, and transportation security threats specifically linked to the CCP.

The working group will be responsible for conducting research, analysis, and coordination efforts to identify and mitigate potential threats posed by the CCP. This includes developing strategies to enhance security measures and protect critical infrastructure from potential attacks or infiltration by CCP-affiliated entities.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration with other federal agencies, state and local governments, and private sector partners to effectively address these security threats. The working group will also be tasked with providing regular updates and recommendations to Congress on ways to strengthen national security measures in response to CCP threats. Overall, Bill 119 HR 708 seeks to enhance the United States' ability to counter and respond to security threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party through proactive and collaborative efforts within the Department of Homeland Security.
