Prohibiting China Funding Until COVID-19 Reimbursement

This bill aims to halt all federal funds for programs and projects in China, as well as for the Chinese government. These funds will be withheld until China fully reimburses the United States for the $4.6 trillion spent on COVID-19 relief. This means U.S. taxpayer money will not go to China until pandemic-related costs are repaid.
Key points
Federal funding for China halted: No U.S. budget money will be allocated to programs or projects in China, or to its government.
Condition of COVID-19 reimbursement: The funding ban will remain until China repays the $4.6 trillion the U.S. spent on pandemic relief.
Impact on foreign policy: The act aims to pressure China regarding pandemic cost reimbursement, potentially affecting international relations.
