STOP China and Russia Act of 2025

John Cornyn’s recorded connection

Cosponsored this bill

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This clause requires the President, within 90 days after this bill becomes law, to decide if eight specific Chinese companies are selling weapons to Russia. If any of these companies—like China North Industries Group Corporation or Aviation Industry Corporation of China—are found to be doing so, they will face U.S. sanctions that could hurt their business. These companies may struggle financially due to reduced sales and potential loss of access to American markets if they continue supplying weapons to Russia.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This clause finds that between June 2022 and January 2025, companies based in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have been supplying critical defense items to Russia despite U.S. sanctions. These Chinese companies include producers and exporters of computer numerical control items, electro-optical equipment, radar components, and other dual-use technology. This clause signals Congress's intent to impose further sanctions on these specific Chinese companies for continuing to support Russia's defense industry.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This clause requires the U.S. Secretary of State, along with other officials, to create a plan within 30 days after this law takes effect. This plan must outline strategies to work with international allies like the EU, UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, as well as financial institutions and private companies. The goal is to coordinate diplomatic efforts, sanctions, and export controls to discourage China from supporting Russia's military industry and vice versa. Every 90 days after this law takes effect, these officials must submit a report on their progress to Congress. This means that these international entities will have additional compliance burdens and may face new regulations or restrictions as part of these coordinated efforts.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This clause requires the President, after 90 days from enactment, to impose sanctions on companies based in China or Russia, or under their control, if they knowingly supply military goods or services between these two countries. This directly affects defense and military suppliers in both nations, as it blocks transactions with sanctioned entities, potentially reducing their revenue.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This clause defines key terms used in the bill, such as "foreign person" and "PRC person", which includes individuals or entities from China. This impacts businesses operating in the U.S., as it clarifies who may be subject to sanctions under this act. Specifically, it means that companies with ties to China must ensure they are not supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine, risking penalties if they do so knowingly.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This continuation of Section 4 reinforces the sanctions mandate against Chinese suppliers to Russia's defense industry. It emphasizes the 90-day implementation timeline and specifies additional covered items like nitrocellulose used in explosives manufacturing. Chinese chemical and dual-use technology exporters face significant restrictions on doing business with Russian military end-users.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This section requires the President to determine within 90 days whether major Chinese defense corporations are selling weapons to Russia. Named companies include NORINCO, AVIC, CETC, and China South Industries Group. If found to be engaged in such activities, these state-owned enterprises face mandatory sanctions blocking their access to US markets and financial services.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This provision requires the Secretary of State to submit a strategy within 30 days for coordinating with US allies on deterring Chinese support for Russia. The strategy must include a diplomatic plan for regular engagement with partner nations on sanctions, export controls, and other pressure measures. This aims to build a multilateral coalition against China-Russia military cooperation.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This section establishes legal definitions for key terms used throughout the Act. It defines "PRC person" as any Chinese citizen, national, or entity headquartered in or subject to Chinese jurisdiction. Chinese entities doing business internationally will need to assess whether their activities fall under the scope of these definitions.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This provision mandates sanctions on any Chinese person or entity that knowingly provides goods or services to Russia's military or defense industry. Covered items include machine tools, lubricants, nitrocellulose for explosives, ball bearings, microelectronics, and optical equipment. Chinese manufacturers and exporters in these sectors face loss of access to US financial system and markets.

  • Potential burden on Secretary of State

    More compliance requirements

This section documents congressional findings about prior US sanctions against Chinese companies supplying goods to Russia's defense industry. It notes that Treasury and State have already targeted Chinese producers of CNC equipment, radar components, satellite imagery services, aviation parts, and explosive chemicals. This sets the legislative record for expanded enforcement.

Clause analysis

What the effects and counts mean

Potential benefits are effects assessed as favorable to the named group. Potential burdens impose costs, restrictions, risks, or lost opportunities on that group.

Mixed effects contain countervailing effects on the same group. Unclear effects have an undetermined direction. A group can have separate benefits and burdens; these are counted separately.

Counts describe the number of identified effects, not their size or public value. Bill and clause counts are distinct within each view. Shared evidence may appear under several groups or policy areas, so their counts should not be added together.

Historical bill versions are included. Clauses analyzed in different versions count separately. A bill’s current status does not establish that every analyzed provision was enacted.

Only direct effects with high or medium confidence in the policy-area assignment are included. Bills are connected through sponsorship, cosponsorship, or Yea/Nay votes; a vote against a bill does not reverse its assessed effects. Vote dates filter recorded votes and vote-linked bills; sponsorship remains included.
