- undermining the autonomy of Hong Kong; and
- any efforts to steal the intellectual property of U.S. persons.
The President may also terminate sanctions after certifying to Congress that the sanctioned person has renounced membership in the CCP and taken steps to denounce or remediate the conduct for which sanctions were imposed.
