US House Passes Bill to Strengthen Enforcement Against China-Linked Trade Crimes
The US House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to enhance the Justice Department's capacity to investigate and prosecute trade crimes linked to Chinese companies. The Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act would create a dedicated task force targeting violations such as tariff evasion, smuggling, and trade-based money laundering. Supporters argue these measures address unfair trade practices harming US manufacturers and workers by strengthening enforcement and expanding resources for federal and local agencies.
