What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Semiconductor Technology Resilience, Integrity, and Defense Enhancement Act, or the STRIDE Act. It focuses on coordinating with allied countries to protect the global semiconductor supply chain from foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party. The Secretary of State is directed to work with other governments to align export controls, prevent technology transfers, and establish trusted supplier networks. If allied countries do not implement sufficient security measures, the bill outlines consequences such as the application of Foreign Direct Product Rule restrictions. Finally, the legislation requires regular reports to be submitted to appropriate congressional committees regarding diplomatic engagements and the effectiveness of these coordination efforts.
