‘We need to prosecute’: Castor grills expert on prosecuting CCP over intellectual property theft

A fiery congressional hearing put China's alleged economic espionage and intellectual property theft under the spotlight as Rep. Castor pressed an expert on how the United States can hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable. The witness warned that Beijing's economic espionage operation is far larger than many realize, urging the FBI and the Department of Justice to take a more aggressive approach. The hearing also focused on loopholes that could allow sensitive U.S. technology, research, and trade secrets to benefit China, with lawmakers calling for tougher prosecutions and stronger national security safeguards.
