          <text>&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Dump Investments in Troublesome Communist Holdings Act or the DITCH Act &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill denies an organization a tax exemption if it holds any interest in a disqualified Chinese company or fails to timely transmit required annual reports. A &lt;em&gt;disqualified Chinese company&lt;/em&gt; is any corporation incorporated in China, or that invests more than 10% of its stock in certain Chinese entities, including entities controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Department of the Treasury may grant organizations a waiver of the denial of the tax exemption under specified circumstances. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Organizations that hold any interest in a disqualified Chinese company must file annual reports describing each interest held in the company, the period during which such interest was held, and whether the organization has been granted a waiver.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
