Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to produce a public report within 90 days detailing the wealth and corrupt activities of Chinese Communist Party leadership, including the party's top officials in the General Secretary position, Central Committee, Politburo, and regional secretaries. The report will be prepared in consultation with the State Department and must be released in unclassified form so the public can access it. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the Director of National Intelligence must testify before both the House and Senate intelligence committees in an open hearing to present the findings from this report. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or allocate additional resources to carry out this requirement. The bill aims to increase transparency and public awareness about what sponsors characterize as corruption within China's communist leadership.
