House Votes

This bill updates and extends the annual U.S. government report on China’s military and security activities. It adds new topics the report must cover, including China’s likely plans if a conflict over Taiwan happens and how China might use cyberattacks on the economy, a cross‑strait invasion, or a blockade. It also expands technology tracking to include biotechnology as part of “advanced and emerging technologies.” The report is extended through January 31, 2030, instead of ending in 2027.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Federal defense and security agencies that write the report; the public and lawmakers who use it to understand risks and plan responses.
• What changes: Adds analysis of Taiwan conflict scenarios, cyber‑enabled economic warfare, blockades, and biotechnology to the required report topics.
• When: The reporting requirement continues through January 31, 2030.
