Sens. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., and John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Wednesday introduced the PRC Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisers Moratorium Act to protect U.S. markets, consumers, and economic security.

In a news release, the legislation was described as a “response to growing concerns on the unequal regulatory landscape between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that expose U.S. financial markets and consumer data to risk from Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked firms.”
