Thwarting Regional Adversary Investments Now Act
Training for Asian Allies on Chinese Investment Risks
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being introduced in the House. It has been sent to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While it has bipartisan support, many foreign policy bills like this are introduced but never make it to a full vote unless they are added to a larger package.
Key Points
- The TRAIN Act would require the State Department to teach government leaders in South and Central Asia how to spot risks in business deals with China. This includes looking for hidden legal or financial traps in loans and construction projects.
- Many developing nations do not have the experts or technology needed to see if a deal with China might hurt their long-term economy or national security. This bill aims to give them the tools to make safer choices for their own countries.
- The State Department would have to give Congress a report every year. This report would list the training sessions held and describe any new deals these Asian countries made with China that could affect U.S. interests.
- U.S. officials would work with groups like the Export-Import Bank to share their knowledge. The goal is to make sure partner countries do not fall into debt traps that give foreign adversaries too much power over their infrastructure.
