HR 1134

This bill, the Embassy Construction Integrity Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of State to avoid or minimize the purchase or lease of buildings used by U.S. embassies or consulates if those buildings were constructed or are owned by entities linked to the Chinese government. The bill aims to prevent the U.S. from relying on Chinese-controlled construction firms for diplomatic facilities. It mandates notification to Congress about any potential conflicts and requires a justification for any actions that could compromise national security. The legislation seeks to strengthen U.S. diplomatic security by limiting reliance on potentially compromised construction sources.
