Bill > S3153

This bill, known as the CLEAR Act of 2025 (Chinese List Entity Alignment and Review Act of 2025), requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct an annual review of Chinese entities that have been added to other U.S. government lists with restrictions or scrutiny due to concerns about their activities or affiliations. Specifically, the bill amends a section of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, mandating that during each annual revision of the list of Chinese military companies operating in the United States, the Secretary must examine and potentially include any Chinese entities that have been newly added to other government watch lists within the preceding year. This provision aims to ensure a comprehensive and up-to-date tracking of Chinese entities that may pose national security concerns, by cross-referencing and integrating information from various government lists.
