What this bill would do
The ``Strengthen American Competitiveness Against Harmful Subsidies Act of 2025'' requires the United States Trade Representative to monitor industrial subsidies from the Government of the People's Republic of China. This monitoring includes current subsidies and plans to implement or expand them. The Trade Representative must coordinate with several government entities to perform this task. Additionally, a report must be submitted annually to specific Congressional committees. These reports must identify subsidies that pose risks to United States employment and manufacturing. Finally, the report must recommend actions to mitigate these identified risks.
