(a) FINDINGS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the United States is heavily dependent on 
the People’s Republic of China for the production, 
processing, and refinement of many key critical min-
erals and materials; 
(2) the Government of the People’s Republic of 
China has weaponized its dominance of critical min-
eral production and has intentionally created over-
capacity and sold products at below-market rates in 
order to gain market share and move up the value 
chain;

(3) it is in the economic and national security 
interests of the United States to prevent further in-
roads by strategic competitors into key sectors such 
as energy infrastructure, critical and rare earth min-
erals, and other supply chains essential to United 
States industrial capacity and strategic security; 
(4) a reliable, resilient, and diversified supply 
chain for energy and critical minerals is essential to 
meet the defense, manufacturing, technological, and 
energy needs of the United States; 
(5) energy security is a fundamental component 
of United States national security, economic sta-
bility, and foreign policy strategy; 
(6) the United States must utilize available 
trade enforcement mechanisms, as well as other ap-
propriate policy tools, to counter coercive economic 
practices by strategic competitors and complement 
the growth of a robust domestic critical minerals in-
dustry; 
(7) United States strategic interests are best 
served by reducing reliance on adversarial nations 
for energy and critical minerals, ensuring reliable 
and affordable electricity for industrial and strategic 
supply chains, expanding commercial opportunities 
for United States energy technologies, and securing

diversified and reliable access to critical minerals for 
the United States and allied economies; and 
(8) Government financing, development, and 
diplomatic tools should all be deployed in a manner 
that maximizes the mobilization of private capital, 
strengthens cooperation with allies and partners, 
and advances the statutory objectives of United 
States foreign policy, economic development, and na-
tional security—thereby making the United States 
safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

modernization in partner countries through respon-
sible and transparent development of domestic en-
ergy and mineral resources;

ments, policy coordination, and expanded coopera-
tion with allies and partners;
