S 1754 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Preventing PLA Acquisition of United States Technology Act of 2025

S 1754 prohibits U.S. research institutions, federal agencies, and U.S. companies receiving federal funds from collaborating with specific Chinese entities linked to China's military-civil fusion strategy. It restricts partnerships in key technology areas like semiconductors, AI, quantum computing, and biotechnology, as listed on a government website. Covered entities must annually report all Chinese research ties, and violations risk losing future federal funding. The bill targets entities including PLA-connected universities, military-linked companies, and those with Chinese government ownership.
