Its path through Congress
- Introduced
What this bill would do
The STRIDE Act aims to coordinate the semiconductor technology supply chain with allied and partner nations. The Secretary of State is tasked with working with countries that have significant capabilities in semiconductor research, design, manufacturing, and materials. This coordination seeks to protect critical technologies from being acquired by the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign adversaries. The bill establishes objectives such as aligning export control policies and creating trusted supplier networks. It also provides a mechanism for addressing countries that fail to implement sufficient security measures. Finally, it requires regular reporting to congressional committees on diplomatic engagement and coordination progress.
