Rep. Perry Proposes Labeling the Chinese Communist Party a Transnational Criminal Organization
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review. It is considered active, but no future hearings or votes have been scheduled yet. There is no companion bill currently linked to this proposal.
This bill is an extreme diplomatic measure that would likely end all formal relations with China. Most leaders in Congress prefer using specific sanctions rather than labeling a foreign government as a criminal group.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
Chinese Americans, especially naturalized citizens with ties to China, could face heightened scrutiny, suspicion, or discrimination if the CCP is formally designated a criminal organization. While the bill targets the party rather than individuals, the broad characterization of a 90-million-member political organization as a crime group could increase anti-Asian bias in enforcement actions and daily life.
“The 90,000,000 members of the Chinese Communist Party (referred in this Act as the ``CCP'') are the sole ruling political party of the People's Republic of China (PRC) under the direction of General Secretary Xi Jinping.”
