This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to form a working group tasked with duties related to countering terrorist, cybersecurity, border and port security, and transportation security threats posed to the United States by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The working group must terminate seven years after its establishment.
DHS must additionally carry out research and development on technologies and techniques for enhancing its security and situational awareness to these threats.
The Government Accountability Office must report on the implementation of this bill.
