Belt and Road Oversight Act
This bill establishes a system for U.S. diplomatic posts to monitor China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) activities globally. It requires each U.S. embassy to designate a "Country China Officer" to track Chinese investments in critical infrastructure, assess debt risks to host countries, and identify BRI projects and related collateral. The officers must submit annual reports detailing these findings to the State Department, which then compiles and distributes comprehensive reports to Congress and relevant agencies. The program is set to expire 10 years after enactment, with no requirement for countries having minimal Chinese investment.
