The ADVERSARIES Act modifies U.S. export control rules to expand which organizations are prohibited from receiving sensitive American technology and research. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition of entities subject to export restrictions to include Chinese military companies, entities already identified by the Commerce Department as security concerns, and any subsidiaries or affiliates that are at least 50 percent owned by these restricted entities—regardless of where those subsidiaries are located. The legislation affects companies, research institutions, and individuals involved in exporting or sharing controlled technology and research with these blacklisted organizations. There is no specific funding allocated in this bill, as it primarily modifies existing export control definitions rather than creating new programs. The bill was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
