The No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025 would require both executive approval and congressional authorization before any company can export advanced artificial intelligence semiconductors to China. Under the bill, the Secretary of Commerce would first conduct an interagency review involving the Defense, State, and Energy Departments and intelligence officials to assess whether such exports serve U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, considering factors like national security impacts, technological leadership, military risks, and human rights concerns. If the Commerce Secretary approves, the bill would then require Congress to pass a joint resolution specifically authorizing the export before it could proceed. The legislation defines "advanced AI semiconductors" by technical performance thresholds and includes narrow exceptions for humanitarian purposes, diplomatic operations, and repairs of previously exported chips. The law would sunset after three years unless Congress reauthorizes it.
