Progress
Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

The resolution cautions that telecommunications networks that incorporate products developed by Chinese companies face technological and geopolitical risks. The resolution also urges the United States and its allies to develop a concerted strategy to counter Chinese companies' legal obligation to carry out potentially malign activities on behalf of the Chinese government.
