SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) since joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, the 
        People's Republic of China has offered the United States a 
        contradictory bargain, which promised openness in the global 
        trade order, but through state mercantilism delivered a 
        severely imbalanced trading relationship;
            (2) it was erroneous for the United States Government to 
        have ignored the contradictions and risks of free trade with 
        the People's Republic of China on the assumption that the 
        People's Republic of China would liberalize economically and 
        politically;
            (3) benefitting enormously from a more open global economy 
        to drive its own industries, the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China and the Communist Party of the People's 
        Republic of China have only tightened their grip on power, 
        brutally suppressing dissent at home and pursuing policies 
        abroad that are a far cry from being a responsible global 
        stakeholder;
            (4) malevolent economic behavior by persons in the People's 
        Republic of China is made clear by the theft of intellectual 
        property from the United States, as Chinese theft of United 
        States intellectual property alone costs the United States 
        nearly $600,000,000,000 annually, according to the United 
        States Trade Representative;
            (5) stealing United States intellectual property advances 
        the ``Made in China 2025'' initiative of the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China to eventually dominate global 
        exports in 10 critical sectors, namely artificial intelligence 
        and next-generation information technology, robotics, new-
        energy vehicles, biotechnology, energy and power generation, 
        aerospace, high-tech shipping, advanced railway, new materials, 
        and agricultural machinery, among others;
            (6) the targets of the Made in China 2025 initiative reveal 
        the goal of the People's Republic of China for the near-total 
        displacement of advanced manufacturing in the United States; 
        and
            (7) the United States Government should act to strengthen 
        the position of the United States in its policy toward the 
        People's Republic of China in order to create a more balanced 
        economic relationship by safeguarding strategic assets from 
        Chinese influence, reducing Chinese involvement in the United 
        States economy, and encouraging United States companies to 
        produce domestically, instead of in the People's Republic of 
        China.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to impose restrictions on Chinese investment in the 
        United States in strategic industries targeted by the Made in 
        China 2025 initiative set forth by the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China;
            (2) to tax Chinese investment in the United States due to 
        its negative effect on the United States trade deficit and 
        wages of workers in the United States;
            (3) to increase the cost of transnational production 
        operations in the People's Republic of China in a manner 
        consistent with the economic cost of the risk of loss of unique 
        access by the United States to intellectual property, 
        technology, and industrial base; and
            (4) to support democratization in and the human rights of 
        the people of Hong Kong, including the findings and 
        declarations set forth under section 2 of the United States-
        Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (22 U.S.C. 5701).

                United States.
                    (B) Technology or intellectual property necessary 
                to protect the economy of the United States from the

    ``(C) The prohibition in subparagraph (B) shall apply to any

SEC. 104. PROHIBITION ON USE OF CERTAIN TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES OR 
              EQUIPMENT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In its 2011 ``Annual Report to Congress on Military and 
        Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of 
        China'', the Department of Defense stated, ``China's defense 
        industry has benefited from integration with a rapidly 
        expanding civilian economy and science and technology sector, 
        particularly elements that have access to foreign technology. 
        Progress within individual defense sectors appears linked to 
        the relative integration of each, through China's civilian 
        economy, into the global production and R&D chain . . . 
        Information technology companies in particular, including 
        Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, maintain close ties to the 
        PLA.''.
            (2) In a 2011 report titled ``The National Security 
        Implications of Investments and Products from the People's 
        Republic of China in the Telecommunications Sector'', the 
        United States China Economic and Security Review Commission 
        stated that ``[n]ational security concerns have accompanied the 
        dramatic growth of China's telecom sector. . . . Additionally, 
        large Chinese companies--particularly those `national 
        champions' prominent in China's `going out' strategy of 
        overseas expansion--are directly subject to direction by the 
        Chinese Communist Party, to include support for PRC state 
        policies and goals.''.
            (3) The Commission further stated in its report that 
        ``[f]rom this point of view, the clear economic benefits of 
        foreign investment in the U.S. must be weighed against the 
        potential security concerns related to infrastructure 
        components coming under the control of foreign entities. This 
        seems particularly applicable in the telecommunications 
        industry, as Chinese companies continue systematically to 
        acquire significant holdings in prominent global and U.S. 
        telecommunications and information technology companies.''.
            (4) In its 2011 Annual Report to Congress, the United 
        States China Economic and Security Review Commission stated 
        that ``[t]he extent of the state's control of the Chinese 
        economy is difficult to quantify . . . There is also a category 
        of companies that, though claiming to be private, are subject 
        to state influence. Such companies are often in new markets 
        with no established SOE leaders and enjoy favorable government 
        policies that support their development while posing obstacles 
        to foreign competition. Examples include Chinese telecoms giant 
        Huawei and such automotive companies as battery maker BYD and 
        vehicle manufacturers Geely and Chery.''.
            (5) In the bipartisan ``Investigative Report on the United 
        States National Security Issues Posed by Chinese 
        Telecommunication Companies Huawei and ZTE'' released in 2012 
        by the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House 
        of Representatives, it was recommended that ``U.S. government 
        systems, particularly sensitive systems, should not include 
        Huawei or ZTE equipment, including in component parts. 
        Similarly, government contractors--particularly those working 
        on contracts for sensitive U.S. programs--should exclude ZTE or 
        Huawei equipment in their systems.''.
            (6) General Michael Hayden, who served as Director of the 
        Central Intelligence Agency and Director of the National 
        Security Agency, stated in July 2013 that Huawei had ``shared 
        with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of 
        foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with''.
            (7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in a February 2015 
        Counterintelligence Strategy Partnership Intelligence Note 
        stated that, ``[w]ith the expanded use of Huawei Technologies 
        Inc. equipment and services in U.S. telecommunications service 
        provider networks, the Chinese Government's potential access to 
        U.S. business communications is dramatically increasing. 
        Chinese Government-supported telecommunications equipment on 
        U.S. networks may be exploited through Chinese cyber activity, 
        with China's intelligence services operating as an advanced 
        persistent threat to U.S. networks.''.
            (8) The Federal Bureau of Investigation further stated in 
        its February 2015 counterintelligence note that ``China makes 
        no secret that its cyber warfare strategy is predicated on 
        controlling global communications network infrastructure''.
            (9) At a hearing before the Committee on Armed Services of 
        the House of Representatives on September 30, 2015, Deputy 
        Secretary of Defense Robert Work, responding to a question 
        about the use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, stated, 
        ``In the Office of the Secretary of Defense, absolutely not. 
        And I know of no other--I don't believe we operate in the 
        Pentagon, any [Huawei] systems in the Pentagon.''.
            (10) At that hearing, the Commander of the United States 
        Cyber Command, Admiral Mike Rogers, responding to a question 
        about why such Huawei telecommunications equipment is not used, 
        stated, ``As we look at supply chain and we look at potential 
        vulnerabilities within the system, that it is a risk we felt 
        was unacceptable.''.
            (11) In March 2017, ZTE Corporation pled guilty to 
        conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic 
        Powers Act by illegally shipping United States-origin items to 
        Iran, paying the United States Government a penalty of 
        $892,360,064 for activity between January 2010 and January 
        2016.
            (12) The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department 
        of the Treasury issued a subpoena to Huawei as part of a 
        Federal investigation of alleged violations of trade 
        restrictions on Cuba, Iran, and Sudan.
    (b) Prohibition on Agency Use or Procurement.--The head of an 
agency may not procure or obtain, may not extend or renew a contract to 
procure or obtain, and may not enter into a contract (or extend or 
renew a contract) with an entity that uses, or contracts with any other 
entity that uses, any equipment, system, or service that uses covered 
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential 
component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any 
system.
    (c) Report.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Secretary of 
Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the United 
States Trade Representative, shall submit to Congress a report on sales 
by the Government of the People's Republic of China of covered 
telecommunications equipment or services through partial ownership or 
any other methods.
    (d) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Agency.--The term ``agency'' has the meaning given that 
        term in section 551 of title 5, United States Code.
            (2) Covered telecommunications equipment or services.--The 
        term ``covered telecommunications equipment or services'' means 
        any of the following:
                    (A) Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei 
                Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, or any other 
                Chinese telecom entity identified by the Director of 
                National Intelligence, the Secretary of Defense, or the 
                Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a 
                security concern (or any subsidiary or affiliate of any 
                such entity).
                    (B) Telecommunications services provided by such
