S. 1864 modifies existing law regarding how the Department of Defense reports on Chinese military companies operating in the United States. Specifically, the bill adds a provision stating that the Secretary of Defense has final authority to decide which entities should be added to the public list of Chinese military companies, and that these decisions cannot be challenged in court or reviewed by other government officials. The legislation affects Chinese military-affiliated businesses seeking to operate domestically, as well as investors and companies that may have dealings with them. The bill contains no new funding requirements and was referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee in May 2025.
