A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives regarding China's international status. It calls for the United Nations to stop labeling the People's Republic of China as a "Developing Nation." The text notes that China is currently classified as a developing nation under various treaties and international structures. However, the resolution points out that China is the second largest economy in the world. It also cites China's status as an upper-middle-income economy and its massive global investments in infrastructure and energy.
