China Trade Relations Act of 2025

HR 1504 would withdraw duty-free access (normal trade relations) for all products from China, directly affecting Chinese exporters and US importers of Chinese goods. It establishes new conditions requiring China to address specific human rights concerns - including forced labor, suppression of religious freedom, economic espionage, and prison treatment - before duty-free access could resume. The bill mandates annual reports from the President to Congress detailing China's compliance with these conditions, with the President allowed to temporarily waive restrictions for up to 12 months under strict congressional oversight. This legislation fundamentally shifts the basis for US-China trade relations from market access to human rights compliance.
