## Summary

**Map and monitor global ports critical to U.S. security and identify PRC efforts to build, buy, or control them.** The bill would require the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, to lead a joint study and deliver an unclassified report with a possible classified annex within one year. - Policymakers and Congress get a one-year unclassified report that lists known strategic ports operated or controlled by the People’s Republic of China or PRC-affiliated entities and by U.S. persons, plus assessments of national security and economic interests and port vulnerabilities. - Defense and diplomacy officials must assess PRC activities to expand control outside the PRC, including promotion of LOGINK and industry standards, analyze threats to U.S. personnel and facilities near ports such as cyber and espionage risks, and propose measures to maintain open access and security. - Port owners, private investors, and agencies will face a study of PRC-linked public and private actors, PRC-owned products used in port systems, estimated costs to secure or replace infrastructure, and suggested options for trusted investments including private funding, loans, loan guarantees, and tax incentives.
