## Summary

**Targets Chinese fentanyl production and supply chains with expanded sanctions and accountability**. The bill would broaden who can be designated for sanctions, press the Chinese government to tighten chemical controls, and add new review rules for U.S. emergency economic authorities while excluding ordinary goods imports. - Chinese entities and senior officials: It would widen the definition of a "foreign opioid trafficker" to cover any foreign person and explicitly include Chinese entities that produce or move fentanyl or precursors if they fail to take credible steps to stop trafficking. It adds the heads of four Chinese agencies to designation considerations and extends designation periods from 5 to 10 years. - U.S. executive branch and Congress: When emergency powers are used for international drug trafficking the President must provide annual written evaluations to specified congressional committees. The President must also weigh costs and benefits, set termination criteria, and explain how any regulations will resolve the emergency. - Trade and chemical controls: The bill expresses congressional urging that China adopt know‑your‑customer rules, proper labeling, and controls on unregulated precursor chemicals. It also specifies that the Act may not be used to sanction the importation of goods, with "goods" defined to exclude technical data.
