This Senate resolution expresses the chamber's position that the United States should treat China as its primary strategic competitor and adversary, requiring a comprehensive policy response across security, economic, and diplomatic fronts. The resolution identifies specific concerns including China's military modernization and expansion in the Indo-Pacific region, unfair trade and economic practices that harm American workers and businesses, development of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, involvement in drug trafficking precursor chemicals, and human rights abuses. The resolution calls on the U.S. to strengthen military deterrence in the region, support treaty allies like Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the Philippines, protect American economic interests through export controls and investment restrictions, compete aggressively in emerging technologies, maintain support for Taiwan, and counter Chinese influence in international organizations and standards-setting bodies. This resolution does not authorize funding or establish timelines but rather states the Senate's view on policy priorities that should guide executive branch decision-making. The resolution is supported by a bipartisan group of senators and has been referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
