The House will vote on the sprawling 2025 National Defense Authorization Act ( NDAA ), which sets policy plans for the Pentagon ’s $895 billion budget.

Republicans will push to include provisions aimed at cracking down on U.S. dollars flowing toward Chinese Communist Party -affiliated companies.

One provision that was left out of the NDAA is a way to codify a rule put forward by President Biden 's Treasury Department .

The rule seeks to limit the access "countries of concern" like China to fund the development of high-level technologies like next-generation missile systems and fighter jets.

Attaching the China outbound investment provision and the Biosecure Act to must-pass legislation would ensure it doesn’t die in the Democratic -led Senate the way House GOP -led bills often do.
