China Advanced Technology Monitoring Act
To require an annual report on the advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities of the People's Republic of China.
Summary
The bill requires the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with other federal agencies, to submit an annual report to Congress on the People's Republic of China's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. The first report is due May 1, 2026, with subsequent reports due annually for five years. The report must assess China's domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, analyze China's industrial policies, track China's technological development in semiconductors and artificial intelligence chipmaking, and evaluate China's partnerships with other countries on semiconductor technology. The report must also analyze the effectiveness of U.S. and allied export controls on semiconductor-related items and assess implications of Chinese semiconductor advances for U.S. competitiveness and national security. The unclassified portion of the report must be made publicly available.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “China Advanced Technology Monitoring Act”.
SEC. 2. ANNUAL REPORT ON ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES OF CHINA.
(a) Report.—Not later than May 1, 2026, and annually thereafter for 5 years, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the heads other Federal departments and agencies as appropriate, shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the Senate a report on the semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, including advanced and mature-node semiconductors, of the People’s Republic of China.
(b) Elements.—The report required by subsection (a) shall also include the following:
(1) A statement of key findings and assessments with respect to the United States strategy to counter China and specific policy recommendations to Congress regarding China’s goal to advance semiconductor manufacturing.
(2) An assessment of the domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities of China.
(3) A detailed analysis of the industrial policies of China and the outcomes of such policies on such manufacturing capabilities.
(4) A year-by-year assessment of technological development efforts by China in the fields of semiconductor manufacturing and artificial intelligence chipmaking, including relevant government plans and initiatives, that specifically addresses gains in every aspect of manufacturing, such as design, intellectual property, research and development, silicon and critical minerals, industrial gases, intermediaries such as photomasks, equipment, tools, and software, and advanced packaging techniques.
(5) A description of engagement between China and other foreign countries with respect to semiconductor manufacturing equipment capabilities, including—
(A) coordination with other countries and markets to expand semiconductor influence; and
(B) foreign investment, trade, and research ties and partnerships with other countries.
(6) An analysis of the extent to which there is collaboration, joint ventures, or partnerships between China and other foreign countries with respect to semiconductor manufacturing.
(7) An analysis of the impact of United States and allied and partner export controls on covered items related to the development of semiconductor manufacturing in China, specifically with respect to the effectiveness of current United States protections against—
(A) export control workarounds and loopholes;
(B) circumvention through foreign investments or third-party acquisitions; and
(C) risks posed by collaborative agreements, partnerships, supplier relocations, and contractual relationships that may indirectly benefit China.
(8) An assessment of whether such export controls remain effective in curbing the development of semiconductor manufacturing equipment capabilities in China and recommendations for enhancing effectiveness of such controls.
(9) An assessment of the implications of Chinese semiconductor manufacturing dominance on—
(A) United States global competitiveness;
(B) United States national security and national economic security; and
(C) the national economy of the United States.
(c) Form.—The report required by subsection (a) shall be submitted in unclassified form and shall include a classified annex, providing additional details and supporting intelligence, as available.
