50 U.S.C. § 3240: Report on best practices to protect privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights of Chinese Americans

the People’s Republic of China appears to be specifically targeting the Chinese-American community for intelligence purposes; such targeting carries a substantial risk that the loyalty of such Americans may be generally questioned and lead to unacceptable stereotyping, targeting, and racial profiling; the United States Government has a duty to warn and protect all Americans including those of Chinese descent from these intelligence efforts by the People’s Republic of China; the broad stereotyping, targeting, and racial profiling of Americans of Chinese descent is contrary to the values of the United States and reinforces the flawed narrative perpetuated by the People’s Republic of China that ethnically Chinese individuals worldwide have a duty to support the People’s Republic of China; and the United States efforts to combat the People’s Republic of China’s intelligence activities should actively safeguard and promote the constitutional rights of all Chinese Americans. a review of how the policies, procedures, and practices of the intelligence community that govern the intelligence activities and operations targeting the People’s Republic of China affect policies, procedures, and practices relating to the privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights of Americans of Chinese descent who may be targets of espionage and influence operations by China; and recommendations to ensure that the privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights of Americans of Chinese descent are sufficiently protected. The report under subsection (b) shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex.
