## Summary

**A government-wide strategy to counter the People's Republic of China's Belt and Road Initiative.** This bill would require coordinated plans, deadlines, and public reporting to align diplomacy, finance, and trade tools against PRC/CCP infrastructure influence. - U.S. agencies: Within 180 days the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, would deliver an unclassified report assessing PRC/CCP use of the Belt and Road Initiative. The report would include a coordinated strategy and could transfer former USAID functions to the Department of State. - Implementation and metrics: Within one year agencies would produce an implementation plan with clear program metrics, goals, monitoring and evaluation, and a timeline that links to national security strategy documents.

It would describe coordination with allies, especially in the Indo-Pacific, and be delivered to House Armed Services, House Foreign Affairs, House Ways and Means, Senate Armed Services, Senate Foreign Relations, and Senate Finance committees.
