SEC. 1210. THE UNITED STATES-CHINA ECONOMIC AND SE-
CURITY REVIEW COMMISSION.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) The 2004 Report to Congress of the United
States-China Economic and Security Review Com-
mission states that—
(A) 
China’s 
State-Owned 
Enterprises
(SOEs) lack adequate disclosure standards,
which creates the potential for United States in-
vestors to unwittingly contribute to enterprises
that are involved in activities harmful to United
States security interests;
(B) United States influence and vital long-
term interests in Asia are being challenged by
China’s robust regional economic engagement
and diplomacy;
(C) the assistance of China and North
Korea to global ballistic missile proliferation is
extensive and ongoing;

HR 1815 EAS
(D) China’s transfers of technology and
components for weapons of mass destruction
(WMD) and their delivery systems to countries of
concern, including countries that support acts of
international terrorism, has helped create a new
tier of countries with the capability to produce
WMD and ballistic missiles;
(E) the removal of the European Union
arms embargo against China that is currently
under consideration in the European Union
would accelerate weapons modernization and
dramatically enhance Chinese military capabili-
ties;
(F) China is developing a leading-edge
military with the objective of intimidating Tai-
wan and deterring United States involvement in
the Strait, and China’s qualitative and quan-
titative military advancements have already re-
sulted in a dramatic shift in the cross-Strait
military balance toward China; and
(G) China’s growing energy needs are driv-
ing China into bilateral arrangements that un-
dermine multilateral efforts to stabilize oil sup-
plies and prices, and in some cases may involve
dangerous weapons transfers.

HR 1815 EAS
(2) On March 14, 2005, the National People’s
Congress approved a law that would authorize the use
of force if Taiwan formally declares independence.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—
(1) PLAN.—It is the sense of Congress that the
President should take immediate steps to establish a
coherent and comprehensive plan to address the emer-
gence of China economically, diplomatically, and
militarily, to promote mutually beneficial trade rela-
tions with China, and to encourage China’s adherence
to international norms in the areas of trade, inter-
national security, and human rights.
(2) CONTENTS.—The plan should contain the fol-
lowing:
(A) Actions to address China’s policy of
undervaluing its currency, including—
(i) encouraging China to continue to
upwardly revalue the Chinese yuan against
the United States dollar;
(ii) allowing the yuan to float against
a trade-weighted basket of currencies; and
(iii) concurrently encouraging United
States trading partners with similar inter-
ests to join in these efforts.
