I am pleased to see this year's NDAA include two of my bills aimed at pushing back against the aggressions of the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP represents one of the greatest existential threats facing our nation today. Beyond their human rights violations and egregious mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, the CCP has continued to abuse international organizations, violate agreements, exploit developing nations through the harmful Belt and Road Initiative, and seek to expand malign influence inside the U.S. through our research and financial institutions.said Congressman Gonzalez.It is past time that the United States take action to recalibrate our relationship with the CCP and hold them accountable. Accountability for World Bank Loans to China Act This legislation aims to curb World Bank funding to the CCP by directing the U.S. Governor for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to seek China's graduation from the program. Despite far exceeding the economic threshold for the program, the CCP has received $7.8 billion from the World Bank IBRD since 2016. The legislation also includes provisions to help protect poor and middle-income countries that the CCP seeks to take advantage of through their Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

CONFUCIUS Act This legislation seeks to limit the malignant influence of Confucius Institutes cultural and language exchange programs at American universities funded by the CCP by barring Department of Defense funds from going to any college or university that does not comply with the accountability provisions of the legislation.

STIFLE Act This legislation activates tools, partnerships, and guidance of a number of federal agencies, including the Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Federal financial regulators to help financial institutions identify techniques and patterns of transactions that may involve the proceeds of trafficking. The legislation requires the Comptroller General to report findings to Congress along with recommendations for legislative or regulatory changes needed to combat trafficking or money laundering the proceeds. National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force Act This legislation creates a task force composed of technical experts from universities, government, and private industry to develop a comprehensive plan for how the U.S. can create, implement, oversee, and maintain a national AI research cloud. Artificial intelligence is a defining technology of the 21st century. The framework established by the task force will help to ensure U.S. global leadership. ### anthonygonzalez.house.gov @RepAGonzalez | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
