Strategic Ports Reporting Act

This bill requires the U.S. State and Defense Departments to map global ports critical to U.S. security and economic interests, with specific focus on Chinese government or company efforts to control such ports. It mandates a detailed study on Chinese activities (including entities like China Ocean Shipping Company and products like LOGINK), vulnerabilities of U.S. and allied ports, and strategies to counter Chinese influence. The Departments must submit an unclassified report to Congress within one year, including lists of strategically important ports, assessments of security risks, and recommendations for trusted investments and alternatives to Chinese control. The bill directly affects U.S. foreign policy and defense strategy by creating a formal process to monitor and respond to Chinese port control efforts.
