End Assistance to China Act

S 5536, the "End Assistance to China Act," prohibits most U.S. foreign assistance to the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, and entities controlled by them. It specifically bans aid to any organization using U.S. funds for activities in China (including Hong Kong), except for two key exceptions: aid promoting human rights/democracy, or supporting livelihoods, culture, education, health, or environment in Tibetan communities. The President may temporarily waive the ban for specific purposes like combating wildlife trafficking, preventing nuclear proliferation, or providing emergency disaster relief, but must notify Congress and justify the national interest. This bill directly affects all U.S. foreign aid programs targeting China's government or CCP-affiliated entities, with limited exceptions for humanitarian and specific development purposes.
