Blocks US courts from enforcing Chinese judgments that punish Americans for free speech or lawful actions.
This bill would stop U.S. courts from enforcing certain judgments made by courts in the People's Republic of China. It aims to protect Americans, states, and businesses from Chinese lawsuits that punish them for protected speech or lawful government actions. Right now, U.S. courts generally decide whether to enforce foreign judgments on a case-by-case basis, but this bill would create a clear ban for these specific situations.
Today, U.S. courts generally decide whether to enforce foreign judgments on a case-by-case basis, based on a principle of respect for other nations' laws. If this bill becomes law, U.S. courts would be explicitly banned from enforcing judgments from the People's Republic of China. This ban applies if those judgments are found to be politically motivated retaliation for protected speech or lawful government actions.
