HR 4522 — Neutralizing Unfair Chinese Export Subsidies Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Treasury to develop a strategy for working with allies to ensure China complies with international export credit standards and eliminate export subsidies. It shifts responsibility for negotiating international export subsidy agreements from the President to the Secretary of Treasury and requires negotiations to occur at least twice yearly. The bill also modifies how the Treasury Department determines if China has manipulated its currency exchange rate, and authorizes the U.S. to oppose IMF quota increases for China if such currency manipulation is determined.
