What this bill does
H.R. 9687, the Blocking CCP Spy Tech Act of 2026, would require a national security agency to review certain communications equipment and services. This review would determine if these products and services, produced or provided by specific named companies and their affiliates, pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security or the safety of U.S. persons. If an unacceptable risk is found, the Federal Communications Commission would add them to a covered list. The bill also directs the Secretary of Defense to determine if these same entities should be identified as Chinese military companies operating in the U.S.
This legislation primarily affects companies involved in communications technology, including Game Science Interactive Co., Ltd., DeepSeek, Unitree Robotics, DEEP Robotics, BrainCo, Inc., and Manycore Tech, Inc., along with their subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and licensees. It also involves the Federal Communications Commission and national security agencies in the review and listing process. The Secretary of Defense is also tasked with a specific determination.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on July 14, 2026, and has been referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Armed Services. It has not yet moved past the introduction stage. If passed by Congress and signed into law, the designated national security agency would have one year to conduct the review.
