Read full article: Justice Dept.'s China focus likely to continue under BidenThe Justice Department in 2018 launched what it called the China Initiative to combat what officials saw as a multi-pronged effort by Beijing to steal intellectual property and conduct foreign influence operations in the U.S. The Justice Department, for its part, did keep an eye on Moscow, unsealing an indictment last month that accused six Russian military officers in a global hacking campaign. The Justice Department says it has charged more than 10 trade-secret theft cases tied to China since the China Initiative began.
