Countering Gray-zone Aggression by the People’s Republic of China Act

This bill directs the U.S. government to create a plan and task force to monitor and counter non-military pressure tactics used by China in the Indo-Pacific region. It requires the Secretary of State to submit a comprehensive strategy within 180 days that identifies how China uses economic, diplomatic, and informational tools to influence countries like Taiwan and the Philippines without triggering open warfare. To implement this plan, the bill establishes an interagency task force tasked with coordinating efforts, tracking these activities, and reporting annually to Congress on progress and vulnerabilities. The legislation also mandates that the final strategy and annual reports be made public to increase awareness of these coercive actions while allowing for a classified section if necessary.
