SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Deter PRC Support 
to the Russian War Effort Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The People’s Republic of China (in this sec-
tion referred to as the ‘‘PRC’’) and the Russian 
Federation have, in recent years, forged a closer re-
lationship, based largely on their shared interest in 
challenging the rules-based international order, in an 
attempt to reshape that order into one that is more 
welcoming to their authoritarian systems of govern-
ment. 
(2) The rhetoric of the PRC’s leaders, including 
Xi Jinping, who called for the unification ‘‘by force’’ 
of Taiwan with the People’s Republic of China, mir-
rors the Russian Federation’s justification for invad-
ing Ukraine, poses a danger to international peace 
and security and the agreed to status quo on Taiwan 
in the Three Communiques exchanged between Bei-
jing and Washington, and should be condemned by 
the international community. 
(3) On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an 
unprovoked and unjustified full-scale invasion of 
Ukraine, and has since killed and injured thousands 
of innocent Ukrainian civilians across the country.

(4) The PRC’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson 
refused to categorize Russia’s attacks as an ‘‘inva-
sion’’ or ‘‘war’’ and referred repeatedly to the Rus-
sian Federation’s statements on Ukraine, including 
reiterating criticisms of the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) and blaming the United 
States for starting the conflict. 
(5) In the days and weeks since Russia’s full- 
scale invasion of Ukraine, the Biden Administration 
has imposed several tranches of sanctions on Putin’s 
Russia. 
(6) On February 22, 2022, President Biden 
issued Executive Order 14065, which blocks prop-
erty of certain persons and prohibits certain trans-
actions with respect to continued Russian efforts to 
undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of 
Ukraine, and expands the scope of the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 of 
March 6, 2014, Executive Order 13661 of March 
16, 2014, and Executive Order 13662 of March 20, 
2014, and takes additional steps with respect to Ex-
ecutive Order 13685 of December 19, 2014, and Ex-
ecutive Order 13849 of September 20, 2018, finding 
that the Russian Federation’s purported recognition 
of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) or

Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) regions of 
Ukraine contradicts Russia’s commitments under 
the Minsk agreements and further threatens the 
peace, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity 
of Ukraine, and thereby constitutes an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and for-
eign policy of the United States. 
(7) On March 8, 2022, President Biden issued 
Executive Order 14066, which prohibits certain im-
ports and new investments with respect to continued 
Russian Federation efforts to undermine the sov-
ereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and ex-
pands the scope of the national emergency declared 
in Executive Order 14024 of April 15, 2021, and 
takes additional steps with respect to Executive 
Order 14039 of August 20, 2021, finding that the 
Russian 
Federation’s 
unjustified, 
unprovoked, 
unyielding, and unconscionable war against Ukraine, 
including its recent further invasion in violation of 
international law, including the United Nations 
Charter, further threatens the peace, stability, sov-
ereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and 
thereby constitutes an unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
the United States.

(8) On March 11, 2022, President Biden issued 
Executive Order 14068, which further prohibits cer-
tain imports and new investments with respect to 
continued Russian Federation efforts to undermine 
the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, 
and takes additional steps with respect to the na-
tional emergency declared in Executive Order 14024 
of April 15, 2021, and Executive Order 14039 of 
August 20, 2021, and expanded by Executive Order 
14066 of March 8, 2022. 
(9) On April 6, 2022, President Biden issued 
Executive Order 14071, prohibiting new investment 
and certain services to the Russian Federation in re-
sponse to continued Russian Federation aggression, 
and takes additional steps with respect to the na-
tional emergency declared in Executive Order 14024 
of April 15, 2021, expanded by Executive Order 
14066 of March 8, 2022, and relied on for addi-
tional steps taken in Executive Order 14039 of Au-
gust 20, 2021, and Executive Order 14068 of March 
11, 2022.

tion continued to increase pressure on Putin’s re-

tions, the head of the PRC’s banking and insurance

regulator said the PRC will not participate in the 
sanctions regime Western nations imposed on Russia 
and ‘‘will continue to maintain normal economic, 
trade and financial exchanges’’ with Russia despite 
its aggression against Ukraine. 
(11) Indeed, that same month, according to 
PRC customs data, Russia bought 9,950 metric tons 
of alumina from the PRC, which is nearly 10 times 
more than what it purchased in the same period a 
year earlier. The PRC’s first-quarter exports of alu-
mina to Russia are nearly six times the volume of 
all of 2021, suggesting the PRC may find new ways 
of providing support to Russia. 
(12) On June 28, 2022, the U.S. Department 
of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, 
added five Chinese companies to the Entity List, in 
response to their continued support to Russia’s mili-
tary efforts since the imposition of export controls in 
response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

sia’s intelligence and security services against the 
people of Ukraine should be strongly condemned; 
(2) any country or entity that provides material 
support for Russia’s invasion is furthering Russia’s 
unlawful belligerence and committing of war crimes; 
(3) Chinese Government officials and individ-

of China that assist the Russian Federation, includ-
ing Russian Government officials or individuals or 
entities associated with the Russian Federation, by 
providing material support or in evading sanctions 
imposed following the Russian Federation’s invasion 
of Ukraine are, in so doing, supporting the Russian 
Federation’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine and the 
Ukrainian people, including alleged war crimes com-
mitted by Russian Armed Forces against civilians; 
(4) the President should continue to seek unity 
with European and other key partners and to uphold 
sanctions that continue to impose costs on Putin’s 
regime and deplete the Russian Federation’s war 
chest;
