This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report to Congress on China's advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, starting May 1, 2026, and continuing for five years. The report must assess China's domestic semiconductor capabilities, evaluate the effectiveness of U.S. export controls in preventing China from advancing its chip-making technology, and analyze China's international partnerships and investments in the semiconductor industry. The legislation also requires the Pentagon to provide policy recommendations for countering China's semiconductor ambitions and to evaluate how export control loopholes, foreign investments, and partnerships might allow China to circumvent U.S. restrictions. Each report will be released in both unclassified and classified versions, with the public portion posted on a government website, ensuring Congress and the American public can monitor China's progress in this strategically important technology sector.
