§2. Prohibition on visa-free admission of Chinese nationals
This section prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from admitting any national of the People's Republic of China (PRC)—including Hong Kong and Macau—or any individual bearing a PRC passport without a valid visa. It further prohibits the use of Department of Homeland Security funds to allow PRC nationals to participate in the Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Visa Waiver Program (i.e., authorized by INA §212(l) (8 U.S.C. 1182(l))), including the Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program, or any other program authorizing visa-free admission. (Thus, all PRC nationals must obtain a visa to enter the United States, including Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.)
