What this bill does
S. 5352, the Trade with China Strategic Assessment Act of 2022, would require the Secretary of Commerce, working with the U.S. Trade Representative, to submit a report to Congress on the state of economic integration between the United States and the People's Republic of China. The first report would be due within one year of enactment, with follow-up reports every three years for the following 15 years. Each report would assess current and projected levels of integration in specific "priority sectors"—such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, energy, agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, and transportation-related industries—and would include recommendations on whether integration in each sector should increase or decrease, along with any suggested changes to trade law or policy.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies, directing new reporting obligations to Commerce and USTR, while indirectly affecting industries in the listed sectors whose trade relationships with China could shape future policy recommendations. Reports would be unclassified but could include a classified annex, and existing Freedom of Information Act exemptions would still apply.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on December 21, 2022, by Senator Rob Portman and referred to the Committee on Finance. It did not receive a vote before the end of the 117th Congress, and as an introduced bill in a prior session, it would need to be reintroduced to be considered further.
