No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025.
The No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025 would require both executive-branch approval and a specific congressional vote before any export, reexport, or transfer of certain high-end artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). After a tailored interagency review, the Secretary of Commerce could approve an export only if a coordinated determination finds it in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, and Congress must then pass a joint resolution explicitly approving the action. The bill defines which AI chips count as “advanced,” lays out who qualifies as PRC (including Hong Kong and Macau or entities controlled by the PRC or CCP), and creates several exceptions and a sunset provision. The act would pause or block shipments unless both the executive branch and Congress agree within a defined process, and it would expire automatically three years after enactment unless renewed.
