China Military Power Transparency Act of 2025
This bill extends the deadline for the annual U.S. defense report on China's military activities from 2027 to 2030 (Section 2(a)). It requires the Department of Defense to add specific new reporting topics, including China's nuclear/drones cooperation, foreign farmland acquisitions linked to Chinese investments, cyber capabilities' role in potential U.S. conflicts, and biotechnology advancements (Section 2(b)). The report must now detail the Chinese military's strategic intent regarding Taiwan and its plans for cyber-enabled economic warfare or blockades (Section 2(b)(5)(B)). These changes directly affect the Department of Defense (as the reporting entity) and Congress (as the recipient of the updated report).
