The Semiconductor Technology Resilience, Integrity, and Defense Enhancement (STRIDE) Act directs the Secretary of State to work with allied nations to coordinate export controls and protections for critical semiconductor technology and manufacturing equipment, with the stated goal of preventing China from acquiring advanced chip-making capabilities that could support its military modernization. The bill aims to harmonize international policies on controlling semiconductor manufacturing equipment, design tools, materials, and technical assistance while establishing information-sharing mechanisms to prevent technology transfer through third-country entities. If the State Department determines that a cooperating country is not adequately protecting semiconductor technology, it must report to Congress within 30 days and work with the Commerce Department to develop an action plan, potentially recommending additional export restrictions and Entity List designations for companies posing transfer risks. The Secretary of State must submit progress reports to Congress every 90 days detailing diplomatic engagement with key semiconductor-producing countries and the effectiveness of multilateral coordination efforts. The legislation does not authorize specific funding amounts but establishes an ongoing policy framework focused on multilateral coordination of semiconductor export controls.
