<DELETED>SEC. 3. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following
findings:</DELETED>
<DELETED> (1) Between June 28, 2022, and January 15, 2025,
with strong bipartisan support, the Office of Foreign Assets
Control of the Department of the Treasury and the Department of
State designated, for the imposition of sanctions, a wide range
of entities and individuals based in the People's Republic of
China that have been involved in supplying goods to Russian
entities responsible for developing, producing, and supplying
items critical to the defense industrial base of the Russian
Federation. Those designations targeted, among other entities,
producers and exporters of computer numerical control items,
electro-optical equipment, radar components, satellite imagery,
aviation components, chemical ingredients in Russian
explosives, and other defense and dual-use equipment and
technology critical to the Russian Federation's defense
industrial base.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (2) Entities and individuals based in the People's
Republic of China continue to evade United States sanctions to
provide material support to the defense industrial base of the
Russian Federation.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (3) Under Executive Order 13959 (50 U.S.C. 1701
note; related to addressing the threat from securities
investments that finance Communist Chinese military companies),
the President found that the People's Republic of China
``increases the size of the country's military-industrial
complex by compelling civilian Chinese companies to support its
military and intelligence activities. Those companies, though
remaining ostensibly private and civilian, directly support the
PRC's military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid
in their development and modernization.''.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (4) Ongoing support for the defense industrial
base of the Russian Federation by the People's Republic of
China requires concerted action by the Department of the

security of the United States.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
</DELETED>
<DELETED> (1) the Russian Federation's continued invasion of

the Russian Federation; and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (2) in response, and to impede the support of the
People's Republic of China for the Russian Federation's war
against Ukraine, the President should--</DELETED>
<DELETED> (A) cut off financing avenues for entities

material support to the defense and related sectors of
the economy of the Russian Federation;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (B) impose sanctions with respect to
entities and individuals in the People's Republic of
China involved in the export of weapons and dual-use
technology to the Russian Federation;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (C) determine whether the United States
should impose sanctions with respect to major arms
exporters in the People's Republic of China for aiding
the defense industrial base of the Russian Federation;
and</DELETED>
<DELETED> (D) develop a strategy to coordinate with
allies and partners of the United States to deter and
undermine the ongoing support of the People's Republic
of China for the Russian Federation's war in
Ukraine.</DELETED>

(1) Between June 28, 2022, and January 15, 2025, with
strong bipartisan support, the Office of Foreign Assets Control
of the Department of the Treasury and the Department of State
designated, for the imposition of sanctions, a wide range of
entities and individuals based in the People's Republic of
China that have been involved in supplying goods to Russian
entities responsible for developing, producing, and supplying
items critical to the defense industrial base of the Russian
Federation. Those designations targeted, among other entities,
producers and exporters of computer numerical control items,

explosives, and other defense and dual-use equipment and
technology critical to the Russian Federation's defense
industrial base.
(2) Entities and individuals based in the People's Republic
of China continue to evade United States sanctions to provide
material support to the defense industrial base of the Russian
Federation.
(3) Under Executive Order 13959 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note;
related to addressing the threat from securities investments
that finance Communist Chinese military companies), the
President found that the People's Republic of China ``increases
the size of the country's military-industrial complex by
compelling civilian Chinese companies to support its military
and intelligence activities. Those companies, though remaining
ostensibly private and civilian, directly support the PRC's
military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid in
their development and modernization.''.
(4) The President of the People's Republic of China, Xi
Jinping, directed the People's Liberation Army in 2023 to be
prepared to invade Taiwan militarily by 2027. According to
public reporting in September 2025, the Russian Federation has
agreed to supply the People's Liberation Army with weapons,
airborne equipment, and associated training that would
demonstrably enhance the airborne capabilities of the People's
Liberation Army, which would be highly relevant for military
operations in the Taiwan Strait.
(5) According to those public reports, the Russian
Federation agreed to supply the People's Republic of China with
amphibious assault vehicles, anti-tank self-propelled guns,
airborne armored personnel carriers, command vehicles, and
training for a battalion of paratroopers for the People's
Republic of China.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Russian Federation's continued invasion of Ukraine
is directly enabled by the ongoing support of the People's
Republic of China for the defense industrial base of the
Russian Federation;
(2) in response, and to impede the support of the People's
Republic of China for the Russian Federation's war against
Ukraine, the President should--
(A) cut off financing avenues for entities in the
People's Republic of China that are providing material
support to the defense and related sectors of the
economy of the Russian Federation;
(B) impose sanctions with respect to entities and
individuals in the People's Republic of China involved
in the export of weapons or dual-use technology to the
Russian Federation;
(C) determine whether the United States should
impose sanctions with respect to major arms exporters
in the People's Republic of China for aiding the
defense industrial base of the Russian Federation; and
(D) develop a strategy to coordinate with allies
and partners of the United States to deter and
undermine the ongoing support of the People's Republic
of China for the Russian Federation's war in Ukraine;
(3) the Russian Federation's ongoing support to enhance the
capabilities of the People's Republic of China relevant for
military operations in the Taiwan Strait requires concerted and
immediate action by the Department of the Treasury and the
Department of State to protect the national security of the
United States; and
(4) in response, the President of the United States should
impose sanctions with respect to PRC persons and Russian
Federation persons involved in the supply or procurement of
equipment, weapons, or training from the Russian Federation
that enhances the People's Liberation Army's capabilities for
military operations in the Taiwan Strait.
