Rep. Pat Fallon introducing bill to block DoD IT contracts with Chinese entities (Exclusive)
Briefly

The 'Protecting American Innovation Act' is vital to securing our nation's technology and deterring foreign threats, particularly from China. Recent cyberattacks have shown how vulnerable our defense and IT systems are to foreign interference.
This bill will take action to prevent this by blocking any Department of Defense contracts with companies tied to China that could jeopardize our national security.
Rep. Fallon's intention going into the 119th Congress is to ensure US equities are protected from the PRC influence to prevent what we saw with Salt Typhoon and Solar Winds.
Congress needs to protect our innovation, as it is our main asymmetric advantage. This legislation aims to fortify that position against foreign threats.
