AI Summary
This bill, the Assessing Xi's Interference and Subversion Act (AXIS Act), requires the Secretary of State to submit regular reports to Congress on whether and how the People's Republic of China, including its government, Communist Party, state-owned enterprises, and other entities, have provided support to the Russian Federation regarding its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The report must cover China's efforts to help Russia evade sanctions, provide technology and other support to Russian intelligence and military, further Russia's disinformation campaigns, and hinder the international response to condemn and hold Russia accountable for the invasion. The bill aims to ensure transparency and accountability around China's actions and impose consequences if it is found to be materially supporting Russia's war against Ukraine.
