China was the largest goods exporter in the world and the third largest
purchaser of United States goods exports in 2022;
Whereas, according to the United States Government Accountability Office, China
invested $679,000,000,000 on infrastructure projects in nearly 150
countries between 2013 and 2022;
Whereas, according to the United States Government Accountability Office, China
is the top investor in global energy, financing 226 power plants in 64
countries between 2013 and 2022; and
Whereas the People's Republic of China is still classified as a developing
nation under multiple treaties and international organization
structures, even though China has grown to be the second largest economy
in the world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that
China should no longer be labeled as a ``Developing Nation'' by the
United Nations.
