HR 5022 - No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025

Overview

Bill Number: HR 5022

Title: No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025
Status: Introduced in House
Introduced: August 22, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The primary goal of the No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025 is to prohibit the export of advanced semiconductor chips and related technologies to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates. The bill aims to limit the CCP's access to cutting-edge chip manufacturing capabilities, which are seen as critical for military and technological dominance.

Key Provisions

• Establishes a comprehensive ban on the export of advanced semiconductor chips, chip manufacturing equipment, and related intellectual property to any entity owned or controlled by the CCP.
• Grants the President the authority to expand the list of prohibited exports and to impose sanctions on foreign individuals or entities that violate the export restrictions.
• Requires the Department of Commerce to maintain a list of CCP-affiliated entities that are subject to the export ban.
• Mandates increased monitoring and enforcement of export controls, including enhanced end-use checks and penalties for non-compliance.
• Directs the President to work with allies and partners to establish a coordinated, global export control regime targeting CCP access to advanced chip technologies.

Affected Parties and Impacts

• U.S. semiconductor manufacturers and exporters would be prohibited from selling their most advanced chips and related technologies to CCP-affiliated entities, potentially impacting their revenue and market share.
• Chinese technology companies and military-industrial complex would be denied access to the latest chip innovations, potentially hindering their technological development and competitiveness.
• Consumers in China may face higher prices and limited availability of certain electronic devices and products reliant on advanced semiconductors.
• Geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China could escalate further, potentially leading to retaliatory measures or a technological "arms race" between the two countries.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The No Advanced Chips for the CCP Act of 2025 has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. If passed by the House and Senate, and signed into law by the President, the export restrictions would come into effect within 90 days of enactment. The bill would require ongoing monitoring and updates to the list of prohibited entities, as well as regular reporting to Congress on the implementation and enforcement of the new export controls.
