As a monopoly right highly related to technology and economy, intellectual property (IP) has gradually become an important means for the United States (US) to transfer internal structural contradictions and curb China's technological innovation and economic development. Analyzing the IP-related proposals of the US Congress will help to understand the direction of IP policy in the US, analyze potential risks to China, formulate countermeasures in advance, and minimize the possibility of losses caused by risks. This paper analyzes the contents of 30 proposals related to IP issues proposed by the US Congress in 2021, finding they will bring risks to China, such as international public opinion orientation, marginalization of influence, technology blockade, and obstruction of free commerce and trade. In this regard, first, China needs to recognize the inevitability behind the US’s strict policy toward China and conduct regular, timely, systematic, and comprehensive risk monitoring on IP-related proposals of the US Congress. Second, China should continue to promote multilateral cooperation with foreign countries and use scholarly communication and international organizations as the front to build China's external discourse system. Finally, China needs to establish a red-line management awareness and regard self-development as the a priority.
