China Technology Transfer Control Act of 2025
Summary
The China Technology Transfer Control Act of 2025 would establish new controls on exporting certain technologies and intellectual property to China. The bill targets items that could strengthen China's military capabilities, harm U.S. national security, or be used to violate human rights and religious freedoms. It would require the President to prevent these exports and impose sanctions on foreign companies and individuals who buy or sell covered items, as well as Chinese entities that misuse such technology.
The bill would direct the U.S. Trade Representative to compile a list of Chinese products subject to restrictions, focusing on industries like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and civil aircraft. These products would be included if they receive government support from China or are used to violate human rights. Currently in committee, if enacted, this bill could affect U.S. companies doing business with China and potentially reshape technology trade relationships between the two countries.
