The proposal proposes to “push back against the [Chinese Communist Party] and its efforts to undermine U.S. interests, remake the world order, and promote an alternative form of governance.”

House Republicans are proposing U.S. sanctions against high-level Chinese officials, including some restrictions that would apply to all members of China’s legislature and their families.

The Republican Study Committee, which includes 147 members of Congress, published a new national security strategy on Wednesday aiming to “push back against the [Chinese Communist Party] and its efforts to undermine U.S. interests, remake the world order, and promote an alternative form of governance.”

It would also extend these officials’ children and spouses.
