The Combating CCP Labor Abuses Act of 2025 requires the Department of Commerce to train its employees and provide guidance to U.S. businesses about human rights abuses in China, particularly forced labor against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. The bill specifically targets Commerce Department employees who counsel businesses on interstate commerce or foreign investment, requiring them to receive training on identifying and understanding these human rights violations. The legislation also mandates that the Department provide advisory guidance to U.S. companies doing business with or considering transactions with Chinese entities, including information about risk factors, ways to avoid problematic business relationships, and potential legal and reputational consequences of working with entities involved in human rights abuses. The bill does not specify funding amounts or strict timelines, instead giving the Commerce Secretary discretion to determine when and how often to offer and update the required training and guidance. The guidance provided to businesses would be advisory only and not legally binding.
