EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) is reintroducing legislation aimed at reducing Chinese and other foreign influence in education, think tanks, and nonprofit groups during the Trump administration‘s crackdown on its economic rival.
Gooden has introduced the bill, the Think Tank and Nonprofit Foreign Influence Disclosure Act, several times before, but it now comes at a time when the Trump administration is emphasizing cutting down on Chinese influence by revoking Chinese student visas, reconsidering all future visa applications from the country, and engaging in a trade war with China.
