Bill > HR2115

This bill, titled the "Ending China's Unfair Advantage Act of 2025," proposes to prohibit U.S. federal funding for two international environmental agreements until specific conditions regarding China's classification are met. First, for the Montreal Protocol (an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer), no funds can be used until China is removed from the list of "developing countries" in the protocol's decision-making documents. Second, for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (a global environmental treaty addressing climate change), no funds can be used until China is included in Annex I, which typically lists industrialized countries with specific emissions reduction obligations. The bill defines "appropriate congressional committees" as specific Senate and House committees and provides clear definitions of the Montreal Protocol and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. By conditioning funding on these changes, the bill aims to challenge China's current status in these international environmental frameworks, potentially pressuring the country to take on more responsibilities as a major global economic power.
