Bill > HR1122

This bill, known as the China Technology Transfer Control Act of 2025, establishes comprehensive restrictions on technology and intellectual property transfers to China, aimed at protecting U.S. national security interests. The legislation defines key terms such as "Chinese person" and "covered national interest technology," and requires the President to control the export, re-export, and transfer of sensitive technologies and intellectual property to China within 180 days of enactment. Under the bill, the U.S. government would impose sanctions on foreign or Chinese persons who knowingly sell, provide, purchase, or use technology that could contribute to China's military potential, support human rights violations, or align with China's industrial policies like "Made in China 2025". The bill mandates that the U.S. Trade Representative create an annual list of products receiving Chinese government support that might displace U.S. exports or be used for human rights abuses, covering industries like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology. Additionally, the legislation reflects Congress's recognition that while technological exchange is important, it must be carefully managed to prevent adversaries from exploiting such channels. Penalties for violations would be enforced through existing international economic powers, with potential for presidential waivers if national security interests are determined to be served.
