According to The Epoch Times in a November 19, 2022 article (Reported by Epoch Times reporter Lin Yan), the U.S. Republican senators introduced a bill to restrict the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members to obtain 10-year, multi-entry B-1 and B-2 visas to the United States for vacation or to perform non-official government business. U.S. Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Rick Scott (R-FL), and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) are original cosponsors.

Senator Tuberville indicated that “Year after year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) steals intellectual property worth trillions of dollars from companies around the world. This blatant theft should not be tolerated in the United States. We must do everything we can to stop harmful foreign interference in our society and economy, including banning members of the CCP from obtaining B-1 and B-2 nonimmigrant visas. China’s increasingly hostile role on the world stage and willingness to orchestrate cyber and intellectual crime has made them our top adversary. It makes no sense to allow those who would harm the United States to lawfully enter our country for any reason.”

Members of the Communist Party of China are currently eligible to apply for 10 year multiple entry tourist visas (B-1, B-2 visas) for tourism and non-official business in the United States. The number of CCP members is estimated at 93 million. The statement stated that there is no restriction on Chinese citizens applying for other visas, including diplomatic, student, athlete/artists, exchange visitors, intra-company, physicians, and investors visas.

According to a written statement from the office of Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Friday (November 18, 2022), the Bill is aimed at curbing Chinese citizens from joining the Communist Party and further limiting China’s espionage in the United States. and promotional activities.

Senator Rubio’s statement indicated that “The Chinese Communist Party seeks to weaken and undermine the United States in its plan to become the world’s sole power. Every single party member is tasked with accomplishing this goal. It defies common sense to allow CCP members to vacation, shop, or conduct business in our country.”

Senator Scott issued a statement: “Again and again, we’ve seen terrifying examples of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents coming to America to steal our intellectual property, track our citizens and infiltrate critical research institutions. Communist China is our enemy and is on a quest for total world domination. Many Chinese visitors are well-meaning and should be granted entry into the United States, but we cannot be blind to the risks posed by the CCP. The federal government must mandate thorough vetting to ensure that visitors from Communist China are not CCP agents or associated with the CCP in any way. I urge my colleagues to join us in supporting this good bill which will keep our country safe, keep foreign spies out of America and protect our valuable trade secrets.”

Senator Cramer stated “You don’t need to have CIA-level clearance to know China is a bad actor. We need a strategic decoupling from China. Every day, the CCP actively works against the United States’ interests. Our bill provides greater scrutiny of visas for Chinese Communist Party members regardless of how long they want to enter our country.”
