Combating CCP Labor Abuses Act of 2025

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Commerce to train its employees who advise businesses on interstate commerce or foreign investment about human rights abuses by the Chinese government, specifically forced labor against Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang. It also mandates that the Department provide advisory guidance to U.S. businesses on identifying risks related to entities linked to jurisdictions with such abuses, including risk factors and ways to avoid problematic transactions. The guidance is explicitly stated to be for informational purposes only, not enforceable policy. The bill directly affects Commerce Department staff and businesses engaged in U.S. or international trade with Chinese entities.
