house 02/27/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to ensure the United States has a clear understanding of China's efforts to control strategic ports worldwide by requiring a coordinated study and report from the Departments of Defense and State. This will help identify vulnerabilities, assess risks to national security and economic interests, and develop strategies to protect and maintain secure access to key maritime infrastructure.

Keep an eye on the chessboard, not just the pawns—this bill helps us see the moves before the checkmate. Smart strategy looks like this.

If we don’t map out China’s port empire, we’re basically giving them the keys to Uncle Sam’s backyard. National security demands we know who’s knocking.

China’s buying up ports like it’s Black Friday—time we stop playing into their shopping spree with no price tags. This bill is a wake-up call, finally.

Let’s call it what it is: protecting America’s front doors from becoming China’s second home. This legislation is patriotism in policy form.

Let's be honest, knowing where China’s ports are is just the start; the hard part is deciding what to do once we know. This act gives us a clearer morning after the night before.

If we're going to keep the world fair, we can't just watch China buy the boardwalk. Time to map those ports and show that global diplomacy isn't a spectator sport.

Transparency on strategic ports? Finally, a bill that says 'no' to silent land grabs and 'yes' to holding powerful countries accountable.

Watching the ports isn’t paranoia, it’s planning—whether you lean red or blue, knowing the landscape helps keep the peace.

National security isn't a partisan game; it’s about making sure nobody sneaks in the back door with unchecked influence. This bill is a good first step before it’s too late.
