HR 2993 United States House · 118th Congress

Preventing PLA Acquisition of United States Technology Act of 2023

This bill bars U.S. research institutions, federal agencies, and federally funded companies from collaborating with specific Chinese entities on technologies tied to China's military-civil fusion strategy. It requires a government website listing restricted research areas (such as semiconductors, AI, and quantum computing) and Chinese entities deemed "of concern" (e.g., military-linked universities or companies). Covered entities must report all partnerships with these entities annually and face loss of federal funding for violations. The law targets dual-use technologies that could advance China's military capabilities, focusing on concrete policy restrictions rather than outcomes.
