Senate Bill to Bar Chinese from Transit Funds

Posted 12/31/69

A bipartisan group of senators have introduced the Safeguarding Transit Operations to Prohibit (STOP) China Act,   aimed at protecting U.S. transit systems and supply chains from Chinese government-linked companies.

It also directs the U.S. Trade Representative, in consultation with the Attorney General, to identify and publish a list of prohibited Chinese companies.
