IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
A BILL
To require congressional approval for the export of advanced artificial intelligence semiconductors to the People’s Republic of China, and for other purposes.
This Act may be cited as the No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025.
the Secretary of Commerce has approved such export, reexport, or transfer pursuant to subsection (b); and
Congress has enacted a joint resolution approving such export, reexport, or transfer pursuant to subsection (c).
In conducting the review under paragraph (1), the Secretaries shall consider—
the potential impact on United States national security;
the potential impact on United States technological leadership;
the risk of enabling military applications by the People’s Republic of China;
the risk of enabling the perpetration of human rights abuses in the People’s Republic of China;
the availability of comparable technology at a comparable volume from other sources; and
the economic impact on United States companies and workers.
The Secretary of Commerce may approve an export, reexport, or transfer under this subsection only if the Secretary determines, in coordination with the other Secretaries described in paragraph (1), that such action is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.
Not later than 30 days after making a determination under subsection (b)(3), the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to Congress a report describing—
the specific advanced AI semiconductor that is the subject of the determination;
the intended recipient in the People’s Republic of China of such semiconductor;
the intended use of such semiconductor;
the analysis conducted under subsection (b)(2); and
the basis for the determination under subsection (b)(3).
An export, reexport, or transfer may proceed under subsection (a) only if Congress enacts a joint resolution specifically approving such action.
The requirements of this section shall not apply to—
exports, reexports, or transfers for humanitarian purposes, as determined by the Secretary of Commerce;
exports, reexports, or transfers necessary for the operation of United States diplomatic or consular facilities in the People’s Republic of China; or
exports, reexports, or transfers of advanced AI semiconductors that were lawfully exported to the People’s Republic of China before the effective date of this Act and are being returned for repair or replacement.
In this Act:
The term advanced AI semiconductor
means a semiconductor that exceeds any of the following thresholds:
A total processing performance of 2,400 or a performance density of 1.6 or more.
A DRAM bandwidth exceeding 4,100 GB/s.
An interconnect bandwidth exceeding 1,100 GB/s.
A sum of DRAM bandwidth and interconnect bandwidth exceeding 5,100 GB/s.
The term People’s Republic of China
means—
the territory of the People’s Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macau; or
any entity that is owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, the Government of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party.
