Contact Congress about H.R. 7476: Countering Communist China Act

The bill would make it harder for U.S. money, technology, and data to flow to China and other rival governments. It would also raise tariffs on Chinese goods unless Congress passes a new China trade law, and it would push more U.S. energy and mineral production.

Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Countering Communist China Act is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects investors, retirement plans, private fund managers, companies with China-linked business, app developers, importers, and energy or mining companies. It could also affect consumers if higher tariffs raise prices on Chinese goods. Federal agencies would have to write rules, track investments, enforce sanctions, and report to Congress. States with offshore energy revenue could also see changes in how money is shared.

Why this matters: This bill could change where U.S. money goes, what Chinese goods cost, and how much business U.S. companies can do in sensitive China-linked sectors. It tries to reduce national security risks from foreign technology, data access, supply chains, and investment flows. At the same time, it could raise costs, shrink investment choices, and create heavy compliance work. Its final impact would depend on agency rules, presidential waivers, and how markets react.

Key provisions in H.R. 7476

• The bill names China, including Hong Kong and Macau, Russia, Iran, and North Korea as countries of concern. The President could add more countries to stop people from dodging the law.
• The President would have to name sensitive technology and product areas in covered sectors. These include chips, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, biotech, and satellite communications, and some U.S. dealings with covered foreign entities could be banned or require notice.
• U.S. people would have to tell the government about some covered activities tied to those sectors and countries. The notice would be due within 14 days after the activity ends, starting 90 days after the first lists come out.
• The bill provides at least $25 million a year for the first two fiscal years to run the outbound investment rules. That money can pay for specialized hiring and outreach to industry.
• Some foreign companies tied to China's defense or surveillance technology sectors would face blocking sanctions, meaning their assets can be frozen. The bill also allows sanctions on foreign app developers or controllers that send user data to China and give Chinese government or party entities access.
