The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Feb. 23 that it’s ending the “China Initiative,” an effort to combat economic espionage, trade theft, and technology transfer by the Chinese regime.
The program will be replaced with a broader approach focused on countering espionage, cyberattacks, and other threats from a range of countries, a top DOJ official said. The announcement followed a departmental review into the initiative’s practices following mounting allegations of racism and mishandling.
