Law

This bill directs the Department of Commerce to study how the United States can attract more companies from friendly countries to build factories and create jobs here. The goal is to make the U.S. the top global destination for new technologies like artificial intelligence and self-driving cars.
A major part of the plan is to reduce how much the U.S. relies on supply chains from China. The bill identifies the Chinese Communist Party as a security threat and seeks ways to protect American inventions and jobs from being influenced or taken by foreign adversaries.
The government will investigate what stops foreign companies from investing in the U.S., such as unfair competition or rules that force companies to keep their data in other countries. They will also look at how our allies are handling these same challenges.
Within one year, the Secretary of Commerce must give a report to Congress with a plan to attract more investment from 'trusted' countries. This plan must ensure that new foreign business activity does not harm American security, workers, or the environment.
