The U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China released its latest 2025 annual report. In the report, it warns that China is accelerating strategic coordination with Russia, Iran, and North Korea, expanding its influence in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region, and building a manufacturing and innovation system using national power, while seeking to gain a leading position in space and key technologies. The report points out that Beijing is devoting all resources to developing artificial intelligence and quantum technologies with dual-use characteristics, which may create a lasting advantage in areas such as cryptography, materials science, drug development, and military intelligence. The commission urges Congress to launch a nationwide technology mobilization, set a "Quantum First" goal for 2030, and provide significant funding support for scalable quantum computing, secure communications, and post-quantum cryptography, while establishing a quantum software engineering institute to bridge the gap between U.S. quantum hardware and software.
The report also urges Congress to significantly strengthen export controls and economic security frameworks, suggesting the establishment of a new interagency entity to address China's "systematic and ongoing" behavior in circumventing sanctions and export controls, and to enhance real-time collaboration with the intelligence community. The commission advocates upgrading AI chip export licenses to China from a "default denial" to a "mandatory denial" and requires future advanced chips to be accessed via cloud-based "rental rather than sale" to allow for review and tracking. In the space domain, the report states that China is advancing an integrated strategy covering military, commercial, and civil sectors, developing anti-satellite weapons and interference systems aimed at weakening the U.S. military's command and target acquisition capabilities in the early stages of conflict. The commission calls on Congress to increase funding for the Space Force, strengthen simulations and training, and hold special hearings to ensure that the United States maintains its leadership in critical space capabilities.
