What this bill does
H.R. 5287, the China Advanced Technology Monitoring Act, would require the Secretary of Defense, working with other relevant federal agencies, to submit an annual report to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on China's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. The first report would be due by May 1, 2026, with additional reports required annually for five years. Each report must assess China's domestic chipmaking abilities, industrial policies, technological progress in semiconductors and AI chips, international partnerships, and the effectiveness of U.S. and allied export controls, along with recommendations for Congress. Reports would be issued in unclassified form with a classified annex, and an unclassified version would be posted publicly and noticed in the Federal Register.
The bill primarily affects the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, which would bear new reporting obligations, and Congress, which would receive detailed annual intelligence and policy assessments to inform legislation on export controls, technology competition, and national security strategy toward China. The public would gain access to unclassified summaries of these findings.
The bill was introduced on September 10, 2025, by Rep. Eugene Vindman, with Rep. Moylan as a cosponsor, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It has not yet received committee action, a vote, or further consideration, and would need to pass the House, the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
