Homeland Security Chair Mark Green, R-Tenn., is introducing legislation that would require the federal government to show how much federal money is going to China.

The bill would mandate that the federal government create a comprehensive annual report detailing exactly how much taxpayer money is going to Chinese groups

In China, businesses and nonprofits are intertwined with the government in a way that is less common in the U.S., which means that cooperating with Chinese entity can be handing money, intellectual property and more directly to the Chinese Communist Party.
