This bill requires the Attorney General to prepare annual reports to Congress on the Department of Justice's efforts to counter Chinese espionage and national security threats in the United States. The reports must detail DOJ activities related to protecting American intellectual property and research, address threats from non-traditional intelligence collectors like university researchers, and explain how many resources the department dedicates to these counterintelligence programs. The Attorney General must also describe safeguards in place to protect the civil rights and privacy of Americans during these operations. The reports will be public but may include classified information in a separate annex, and the Attorney General will coordinate with intelligence and defense officials in preparing them. This reporting requirement continues for seven years, with the first report due within 90 days of the bill's passage.
