This bill calls for various reports to Congress on China-related topics and revises labeling requirements under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.

Various agencies shall report on

  • efforts to prosecute Chinese Communist Party (CCP) affiliates who threaten or coerce U.S. residents;
  • Chinese bases in other countries and how such bases affect freedom of navigation, sea control, and U.S. interests;
  • the Chinese Coast Guard and whether it is being used as a coercive tool in the East China Sea and South China Sea;
  • steps to ensure deployment of fifth generation mobile networks (5G networks) and the threats posed by Chinese 5G equipment and services;
  • U.S.-China technical cooperation and related threats such as intellectual property theft; and
  • China's enforcement of sanctions against North Korea.

The bill also calls for annual reports on

  • supply chain risks associated with China, in particular involving communications and mobile technologies and equipment; and
  • CCP influence and propaganda activities in the United States.
