Bill > HRes687

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' view that China should no longer be classified as a "developing nation" by the United Nations, based on several key economic indicators. The resolution points out that the World Bank categorizes China as an upper-middle-income economy, and the country is the world's largest goods exporter and the third-largest purchaser of U.S. goods exports. Additionally, the resolution highlights China's significant global investments, including $679 billion in infrastructure projects across nearly 150 countries between 2013 and 2022, and financing 226 power plants in 64 countries during the same period. Despite being the second-largest economy globally, China continues to be labeled as a developing nation under multiple international treaties and organizational structures, which the House of Representatives finds inappropriate given the country's economic capabilities and global economic influence.
