What this bill would do

The "Ending Lending to China Act of 2025" aims to stop multilateral development banks from providing assistance to the People's Republic of China. It directs the Secretary of the Treasury to use the U.S.'s influence in these banks to oppose loans or assistance to China and to push for ending aid to countries exceeding certain income levels. The Act also requires the Secretary of the Treasury to submit annual reports to Congress on China's borrowing status and U.S. efforts to graduate countries from eligibility for assistance.
