Stop PRC Economic Espionage Act of 2026

Key claim: The Stop PRC Economic Espionage Act of 2026 (HR9789) was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Abstract

(HR9789 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-20): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

HR9789 signals continued congressional appetite for country-specific economic-espionage statutes aimed at the PRC, layered on top of existing Economic Espionage Act and export-control authorities. For exporters and technology firms, such vehicles typically expand extraterritorial reach, penalties, or reporting obligations, though referral to Judiciary at introduction means near-term operational effect on importers and consumer prices is minimal.
