SEC. 3. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>

    (a) 

=== Findings ===
-Congress makes the following 
findings:</DELETED>
 <DELETED>

    (1) Between June 28, 2022, and January 15, 2025, 
 with strong bipartisan support, the Office of Foreign Assets 
 Control of the Department of the Treasury and the Department of 
 State designated, for the imposition of sanctions, a wide range 
 of entities and individuals based in the People's Republic of 
 China that have been involved in supplying goods to Russian 
 entities responsible for developing, producing, and supplying 
 items critical to the defense industrial base of the Russian 
 Federation. Those designations targeted, among other entities, 
 producers and exporters of computer numerical control items, 
 electro-optical equipment, radar components, satellite imagery, 
 aviation components, chemical ingredients in Russian 
 explosives, and other defense and dual-use equipment and 
 technology critical to the Russian Federation's defense 
 industrial base.</DELETED>
 <DELETED>

    (2) Entities and individuals based in the People's 
 Republic of China continue to evade United States sanctions to 
 provide material support to the defense industrial base of the 
 Russian Federation.</DELETED>
 <DELETED>

    (3) Under Executive Order 13959 (50 U.S.C. 1701 
 note; related to addressing the threat from securities 
 investments that finance Communist Chinese military companies), 
 the President found that the People's Republic of China 
 ``increases the size of the country's military-industrial 
 complex by compelling civilian Chinese companies to support its 
 military and intelligence activities. Those companies, though 
 remaining ostensibly private and civilian, directly support the 
 PRC's military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid 
 in their development and modernization.''.</DELETED>
 <DELETED>

    (4) Ongoing support for the defense industrial 
 base of the Russian Federation by the People's Republic of 
 China requires concerted action by the Department of the 
 Treasury and the Department of State to protect the national 
 security of the United States.</DELETED>
<DELETED>

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
</DELETED>
 <DELETED>

    (1) the Russian Federation's continued invasion of 
 Ukraine is directly enabled by the ongoing support of the 
 People's Republic of China for the defense industrial base of 
 the Russian Federation; and</DELETED>
 <DELETED>

    (2) in response, and to impede the support of the 
 People's Republic of China for the Russian Federation's war 
 against Ukraine, the President should--</DELETED>
 <DELETED>
        (A) cut off financing avenues for entities 
 in the People's Republic of China that are providing 
 material support to the defense and related sectors of 
 the economy of the Russian Federation;</DELETED>
 <DELETED>
        (B) impose sanctions with respect to 
 entities and individuals in the People's Republic of 
 China involved in the export of weapons and dual-use 
 technology to the Russian Federation;</DELETED>
 <DELETED>
            (C) determine whether the United States 
 should impose sanctions with respect to major arms 
 exporters in the People's Republic of China for aiding 
 the defense industrial base of the Russian Federation; 
 and</DELETED>
 <DELETED>
            (D) develop a strategy to coordinate with 
 allies and partners of the United States to deter and 
 undermine the ongoing support of the People's Republic 
 of China for the Russian Federation's war in 
 Ukraine.</DELETED>

SEC. 3. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) 

=== Findings ===
-Congress makes the following findings:

    (1) Between June 28, 2022, and January 15, 2025, with 
 strong bipartisan support, the Office of Foreign Assets Control 
 of the Department of the Treasury and the Department of State 
 designated, for the imposition of sanctions, a wide range of 
 entities and individuals based in the People's Republic of 
 China that have been involved in supplying goods to Russian 
 entities responsible for developing, producing, and supplying 
 items critical to the defense industrial base of the Russian 
 Federation. Those designations targeted, among other entities, 
 producers and exporters of computer numerical control items, 
 electro-optical equipment, radar components, satellite imagery, 
 aviation components, chemical ingredients in Russian 
 explosives, and other defense and dual-use equipment and 
 technology critical to the Russian Federation's defense 
 industrial base.

    (2) Entities and individuals based in the People's Republic 
 of China continue to evade United States sanctions to provide 
 material support to the defense industrial base of the Russian 
 Federation.

    (3) Under Executive Order 13959 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note; 
 related to addressing the threat from securities investments 
 that finance Communist Chinese military companies), the 
 President found that the People's Republic of China ``increases 
 the size of the country's military-industrial complex by 
 compelling civilian Chinese companies to support its military 
 and intelligence activities. Those companies, though remaining 
 ostensibly private and civilian, directly support the PRC's 
 military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid in 
 their development and modernization.''.

    (4) The President of the People's Republic of China, Xi 
 Jinping, directed the People's Liberation Army in 2023 to be 
 prepared to invade Taiwan militarily by 2027. According to 
 public reporting in September 2025, the Russian Federation has 
 agreed to supply the People's Liberation Army with weapons, 
 airborne equipment, and associated training that would 
 demonstrably enhance the airborne capabilities of the People's 
 Liberation Army, which would be highly relevant for military 
 operations in the Taiwan Strait.

    (5) According to those public reports, the Russian 
 Federation agreed to supply the People's Republic of China with 
 amphibious assault vehicles, anti-tank self-propelled guns, 
 airborne armored personnel carriers, command vehicles, and 
 training for a battalion of paratroopers for the People's 
 Republic of China.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--

    (1) the Russian Federation's continued invasion of Ukraine 
 is directly enabled by the ongoing support of the People's 
 Republic of China for the defense industrial base of the 
 Russian Federation;

    (2) in response, and to impede the support of the People's 
 Republic of China for the Russian Federation's war against 
 Ukraine, the President should--
        (A) cut off financing avenues for entities in the 
 People's Republic of China that are providing material 
 support to the defense and related sectors of the 
 economy of the Russian Federation;
        (B) impose sanctions with respect to entities and 
 individuals in the People's Republic of China involved 
 in the export of weapons or dual-use technology to the 
 Russian Federation;
            (C) determine whether the United States should 
 impose sanctions with respect to major arms exporters 
 in the People's Republic of China for aiding the 
 defense industrial base of the Russian Federation; and
            (D) develop a strategy to coordinate with allies 
 and partners of the United States to deter and 
 undermine the ongoing support of the People's Republic 
 of China for the Russian Federation's war in Ukraine;

    (3) the Russian Federation's ongoing support to enhance the 
 capabilities of the People's Republic of China relevant for 
 military operations in the Taiwan Strait requires concerted and 
 immediate action by the Department of the Treasury and the 
 Department of State to protect the national security of the 
 United States; and

    (4) in response, the President of the United States should 
 impose sanctions with respect to PRC persons and Russian 
 Federation persons involved in the supply or procurement of 
 equipment, weapons, or training from the Russian Federation 
 that enhances the People's Liberation Army's capabilities for 
 military operations in the Taiwan Strait.

SEC. 4. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS RELATING TO MUTUAL MILITARY SUPPORT 
 BETWEEN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA AND THE RUSSIAN 
 FEDERATION.

    (a) In General.--On and after the date that is 90 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall impose the 
sanctions described in subsection

    (b) with respect to a foreign person 
the President determines--

    (1) is a PRC person, under the control of a PRC person, a 
 Russian Federation person, or under the control of a Russian 
 Federation person; and

    (2)
        (A) knowingly sells, leases, provides, or facilitates 
 selling, leasing, or providing, goods or services from the 
 People's Republic of China to or for the ultimate use by the 
 Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or the defense 
 industrial base of the Russian Federation, including--
            (i) computer numerical control tools and associated 
 machinery, software, and maintenance or upgrade 
 services;
            (ii) lubricant additives;

 arms, weapons, weapons systems, training, or component parts 
 for such arms, weapons, or weapons systems, to any Russian 
 Federation person or for ultimate use by the Armed Forces of 
 the Russian Federation; or
            (C) knowingly procures or facilitates the procurement of 
 arms, weapons, weapons systems, training, or component parts 
 for such arms, weapons, or weapons systems, from the Russian 
 Federation that enhance the capabilities of the People's 
 Liberation Army for military operations in the Taiwan Strait.
