China Initiative - Countering CCP's IP Theft ..

TTP - Thousand Talents Scam ..

The China Initiative was launched by the United States Department of Justice, the FBI, and other United States federal agencies in November 2018. It is led by the United States Department of Justice National Security Division, and has been described as a "sweeping effort" to counter Chinese espionage in American businesses and research by eliminating spies and halting the transfer of information and technology to China. In addition, the China Initiative focuses on safeguarding "critical infrastructure against external threats through foreign direct investment and supply chain compromises, as well as combatting covert efforts to influence the American public and policymakers without proper transparency." There is no definition of what a China Initiative case is. It has been criticized as being ineffective, racially biased, and disproportionate. Some of the cases under the initiative were based on false evidence by the FBI. The China Initiative's end was announced on 23 February 2022, citing perceptions of unfair treatment of Chinese Americans and residents of Chinese origin.

On 23 February 2022, the DOJ announced that it was ending the China Initiative, largely due to "perceptions that it unfairly painted Chinese Americans and U.S. residents of Chinese origin as disloyal." Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen stated that the decision was not the abandonment of law enforcement response to the threat posed by China but a reframing and recalibration. According to Olsen, the DOJ will continue to combat threats posed by the Chinese government. China Initiative cases typically involved lying or omitting information on disclosure forms. Some cases resulted in convictions such as with Charles Lieber, who was found guilty of making false statements to federal officials and filing false tax returns. However other cases have been reined in or abandoned, such as with Gang Chen, or defeated in trial in the case of Anming Hu. A review of existing cases was conducted and the DOJ is "comfortable with where those cases are."
