DOJ scraps Trump-era China Initiative for broader national security program
| The Department of Justice (DOJ) is scrapping the Trump-era China Initiative in favor of a broader program to confront diverse national security threats from foreign countries, a pivot the agency said was also needed in the wake of an increase in anti-Asian hate crimes and rhetoric.
The China Initiative was created in 2018 under the Trump administration, quickly wracking up indictments against Chinese companies accused of economic espionage. |
