groups earning bachelor's degrees in ,,stem fields does not significantly increase1 the ,united ,states will face an acute shortfall in the overall number of students who earn degrees in ,,stem fields just as ,united ,states companies are increasingly seeking students with those skills4 ,with this impending shortfall1 the ,united ,states will almost certainly lose its competitive edge in the #bast

,findings ,congress makes the following findings3 7#a7 ,the ,people's ,republic of ,china 7,,prc7 is leveraging its political1 diplomatic1 economic1 military1 technological1 and ideological power to become a strategic1 near-peer1 global competitor of the ,united ,states4 ,the policies increasingly pursued by the ,,prc in these domains are contrary to the interests and values of the ,united ,states1 its partners1 and much of the rest of the world4 7#b7 ,a number of policies being pursued by the ,,prc-- 7,a7 threaten the future character of the international order and are shaping the rules1 norms1 and institutions that govern relations among states2 7,b7 will put at risk the ability of the ,united ,states to secure its national interests2 and 7,c7 will put at risk the future peace1 prosperity1 and freedom of the international community in the coming decades4 7#c7 ,after normalizing diplomatic relations with the ,,prc in #aigi1 the ,united ,states actively worked to advance the ,,prc's economic and social development to ensure that it participated in1 and benefited from1 the free and open international order4 ,the ,united ,states pursued these goals and contributed to the welfare of the ,chinese people by-- 7,a7 increasing the ,,prc's access to global capital markets2 7,b7 promoting the ,,prc's accession to the ,world ,trade ,organization2 7,c7 providing development finance and technical assistance2 7,d7 promoting research collaboration2 7,e7 educating the ,,prc's top students2 7,f7 permitting transfers of cutting-edge technologies and scientific knowledge2 and 7,g7 providing intelligence and military assistance4 7#d7 ,it is now clear that the ,,prc has chosen to pursue state-led1 mercantilist economic policies1 an increasingly authoritarian governance model at home through increased restrictions on personal freedoms1 and an aggressive and assertive foreign policy4 ,these policies frequently and deliberately undermine ,united ,states interests and are contrary to core ,united ,states values and the values of other nations1 both in the ,indo-,pacific and beyond4 ,in response to this strategic decision of the ,,ccp1 the ,united ,states has been compelled to reexamine and revise its strategy towards the ,,prc and reanimate its defense of the international order4 7#e7 ,the ,general ,secretary of the ,,ccp and the ,chairman of the ,people's ,republic of ,china1 ,xi ,jinping1 has elevated the ,great ,rejuvenation of the ,chinese ,nation as central to the domestic and foreign policy of the ,,prc4 ,his program demands-- 7,a7 strong1 centralized ,,ccp leadership2 7,b7 concentration of military power2 7,c7 a dominant role for the ,,ccp in the state and the economy2 7,d7 an aggressive foreign policy seeking control over broadly asserted territorial claims2 and 7,e7 the denial of any universal values and individual rights that are deemed to threaten the ,,ccp4 7#f7 ,the ,,prc views its ,leninist model of governance as superior to1 and at odds with1 the constitutional models of the ,united ,states and other democracies4 ,this approach to governance is lauded by the ,,ccp as essential to securing the ,,prc's status as a global leader1 and to shaping the future of the world4 ,in a #bjac speech1 ,general ,secretary ,xi said1 ,we firmly believe that as socialism with ,chinese characteristics develops further 99 99 99 it is 99 99 99 inevitable that the superiority of our socialist system will be increasingly apparent 99 99 99 and our country's road of development will have increasingly greater influence on the world44 7#g7 ,the ,,prc's objectives are to first establish regional hegemony over the ,indo-,pacific and then to use that dominant position to propel the ,,prc to become the leading world power1 shaping an international order that is conducive to its interests4 ,achieving these objectives requires turning the ,,prc into a wealthy nation under strict ,,ccp rule by using a strong military and advanced technological capability to pursue the ,,prc's objectives1 regardless of other countries' interests4 7#h7 ,the ,,prc is reshaping the current international order1 which is built upon the rule of law and free and open ideals and principles1 by conducting global information and influence operations1 seeking to redefine international laws and norms to align with the objectives of the ,,ccp1 rejecting the legitimacy of internationally recognized human rights1 and seeking to co-opt the leadership and agenda of multinational organizations for the benefit of the ,,prc and other authoritarian regimes at the expense of the interests of the ,united ,states and the international community4 7#i7 ,the ,,prc is encouraging other countries to follow its model of development and governance4 ,during the #aith ,party ,congress in #bjag1 ,general ,secretary ,xi said that the ,,prc could serve as a model of development for other countries by utilizing ,chinese wisdom and a ,chinese approach to solving problems4 7#aj7 ,the ,,prc is promoting its governance model and attempting to weaken other models of governance by-- 7,a7 undermining democratic institutions2 7,b7 subverting financial institutions2 7,c7 coercing businesses to accommodate the policies of the ,,prc2 and 7,d7 using disinformation to disguise the nature of the actions described in subparagraphs 7,a7 through 7,c74 7#aa7 ,the ,,prc is progressing toward becoming the global leader in science and technology4 ,in ,may #bjah1 ,general ,secretary ,xi said that for the ,,prc to reach prosperity and rejuvenation1 it needs to endeavor to be a major world center for science and innovation4 ,the ,,prc has invested the equivalent of billions of dollars into education and research and development and established joint scientific research centers and science universities4 7#ab7 ,the ,,prc's drive to become a manufacturing and technological superpower and to promote innovation with ,chinese characteristics is coming at the expense of human rights and longstanding international rules and norms with respect to economic competition1 and presents a challenge to ,united ,states national security and the security of allies and like-minded countries4 ,in particular1 the ,,prc advances its illiberal political and social policies through mass surveillance1 social credit systems1 and a significant role of the state in internet governance4 ,through these means1 the ,,prc increases direct and indirect government control over its citizens' everyday lives4 ,its national strategy of civil-military fusion mandates that civil and commercial research1 which increasingly drives global innovation1 is leveraged to develop new military capabilities4 7#ac7 ,the ,,prc is using legal and illegal means to achieve its objective of becoming a manufacturing and technological superpower4 ,the ,,prc uses state-directed industrial policies in anticompetitive ways to ensure the dominance of ,,prc companies4 ,the ,,ccp engages in and encourages actions that actively undermine a free and open international market1 such as intellectual property theft1 forced technology transfers1 regulatory and financial subsidies1 and mandatory ,,ccp access to proprietary data as part of business and commercial agreements between ,chinese and foreign companies4 7#ad7 ,the policies referred to in paragraph 7#ac7 are designed to freeze ,united ,states and other foreign firms out of the ,,prc market1 while eroding competition in other important markets4 ,the heavy subsidization of ,chinese companies includes potential violation of its ,world ,trade ,organization commitments4 ,in ,may #bjah1 ,general ,secretary ,xi said that the ,,prc aims to keep the initiatives of innovation and development security 99 99 99 in ,china's own hands4 7#ae7 ,the ,,prc is advancing its global objectives through a variety of avenues1 including its signature initiative1 the ,belt and ,road ,initiative 7referred to in this subsection as ,,bri71 which is enshrined in the ,chinese ,constitution and includes the ,digital ,silk ,road and ,health ,silk ,road4 ,the ,,prc describes ,,bri as a straightforward and wholly beneficial plan for all countries4 ,eventually1 it seeks to create a web of economic relations with the ,,prc at its center1 making it the most concrete geographical representation of the ,,prc's global ambitions4 ,,bri increases the economic influence of state-owned ,,prc firms in global markets1 enhances the ,,prc's political leverage with government leaders around the world1 and provides greater access to strategic nodes such as ports and railways4 ,through ,,bri1 the ,,prc seeks political deference through economic dependence4 7#af7 ,the ,,prc is executing a plan to establish regional hegemony over the ,indo-,pacific and displace the ,united ,states from the region4 ,as a ,pacific power1 the ,united ,states has built and supported enduring alliances and economic partnerships that secure peace and prosperity and promote the rule of law and political pluralism in a free and open ,indo-,pacific4 ,in contrast1 the ,,prc uses economic and military coercion in the region to secure its own interests4 7#ag7 ,the ,,prc's military strategy seeks to keep the ,united ,states military from operating in the ,western ,pacific and erodes ,united ,states security guarantees4 7#ah7 ,the ,,prc is aggressively pursuing exclusive control of critical land routes1 sea lanes1 and air space in the ,indo-,pacific in the hopes of eventually exercising greater influence beyond the region4 ,this includes lanes crucial to commercial activity1 energy exploration1 transport1 and the exercise of security operations in areas permitted under international law4 7#ai7 ,the ,,prc seeks so-called reunification with ,taiwan through whatever means may ultimately be required4 ,the ,,ccp's insistence that so-called reunification is ,taiwan's only option makes this goal inherently coercive4 ,in ,january #bjai1 ,general ,secretary ,xi stated that the ,,prc makes no promise to renounce the use of force and reserves the option of taking all necessary means4 ,taiwan's embodiment of democratic values and economic liberalism challenges ,general ,secretary ,xi's goal of achieving national rejuvenation4 ,the ,,prc plans to exploit ,taiwan's dominant strategic position in the ,first ,island ,chain and to project power into the ,second ,island ,chain and beyond4 7#bj7 ,in the ,south ,china ,sea1 the ,,prc has executed an illegal island-building campaign that threatens freedom of navigation and the free-flow of commerce1 damages the environment1 bolsters the ,,pla power projection capabilities1 and coerces and intimidates other regional claimants in an effort to advance its unlawful claims and control the waters around neighboring countries4 ,despite ,general ,secretary ,xi's ,september #bjae speech1 in which he said the ,,prc was not militarizing the ,south ,china ,sea1 during the #bjag #aith ,party ,congress1 ,general ,secretary ,xi announced that construction on islands and reefs in the ,south ,china ,sea have seen steady progress4 7#ba7 ,the ,,prc is rapidly modernizing the ,,pla to attain a level of capacity and capability superior to the ,united ,states in terms of equipment and conduct of modern military operations by shifting its military doctrine from having a force adequate for ,china's defensive needs to having a force commensurate with ,china's international status4 ,ultimately1 this transformation could enable ,china to impose its will in the ,indo-,pacific region through the threat of military force4 ,in #bjag1 ,general ,secretary ,xi established the following developmental benchmarks for the advancement of the ,,pla3 7,a7 ,a mechanized force with increased informatized and strategic capabilities by #bjbj4 7,b7 ,the complete modernization of ,china's national defense by #bjce4 7,c7 ,the full transformation of the ,,pla into a world-class force by #bjej4 7#bb7 ,the ,,prc's strategy and supporting policies described in this subsection undermine ,united ,states interests1 such as-- 7,a7 upholding a free and open international order2 7,b7 maintaining the integrity of international institutions with liberal norms and values2 7,c7 preserving a favorable balance of power in the ,indo-,pacific2 7,d7 ensuring the defense of its allies2 7,e7 preserving open sea and air lanes2 7,f7 fostering the free flow of commerce through open and transparent markets2 and 7,g7 promoting individual freedom and human rights4 7#bc7 ,the global ,,covid-#ai pandemic has intensified and accelerated these trends in the ,,prc's behavior and therefore increased the need for ,united ,states global leadership and a competitive posture4 ,the ,,prc has capitalized on the world's focus on the ,,covid-#ai pandemic by-- 7,a7 moving rapidly to undermine ,hong ,kong's autonomy1 including imposing a so-called national security law on ,hong ,kong2 7,b7 aggressively imposing its will in the ,east and ,south ,china ,seas2 7,c7 increasing its territorial aggression in ,south ,asia1 including against ,india2 and 7,d7 engaging in a widespread and government-directed disinformation campaign to obscure the ,,prc ,government's efforts to cover up the seriousness of ,,covid-#ai1 sow confusion about the origination of the outbreak1 and discredit the ,united ,states1 its allies1 and global health efforts4 7#bd7 ,the ,,ccp's disinformation campaign referred to in paragraph 7#bc77;,d7 has included-- 7,a7 concerted efforts1 in the early days of the pandemic1 to downplay the nature and scope of the outbreak in ,wuhan in the ,,prc1 as well as cases of person-to-person transmission2 7,b7 claims that the virus originated in ,united ,states biological defense research at ,fort ,detrick1 ,maryland2 7,c7 ,chinese state media reports insinuating a possible link between the virus and other ,united ,states biological facilities2 and 7,d7 efforts to block access to qualified international infectious disease experts who might contradict the ,,ccp's narrative4 7#be7 ,in response to the ,,prc's strategy and policies1 the ,united ,states must adopt a policy of strategic competition with the ,,prc to protect and promote our vital interests and values4 7#bf7 ,the ,united ,states policy of strategic competition with respect to the ,people's ,republic of ,china is part of a broader strategic approach to the ,indo-,pacific and the world that aligns with cooperation with ,united ,states allies and partners to advance shared values and interests and to preserve and enhance a free1 open1 democratic1 inclusive1 rules-based1 stable1 and diverse region4 7#bg7 ,the ,asia ,reassurance ,initiative ,act

,national ,intelligence ,estimate on escalation and de-escalation of gray zone activities in great power competition 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,the conventional power of the ,united ,states has driven foreign adversaries to a level of competition that does not always depend on military confrontation with the ,united ,states4 7#b7 ,rather than challenging the ,united ,states in a manner that could provoke a kinetic military response1 foreign adversaries of the ,united ,states have turned to carrying out gray zone activities to advance the interests of such adversaries1 weaken the power of the ,united ,states1 and erode the norms that underpin the ,united ,states-led international order4 7#c7 ,gray zone activity falls on a spectrum of attribution and deniability that ranges from covert adversary operations1 to detectible covert adversary operations1 to unattributable adversary operations1 to deniable adversary operations1 to open adversary operations4 7#d7 ,to adequately address such a shift to gray zone activity1 the ,united ,states must understand what actions tend to either escalate or de-escalate such activity by our adversaries4 7#e7 ,the laws1 principles1 and values of the ,united ,states are strategic advantages in great power competition with authoritarian foreign adversaries that carry out gray zone activities1 because such laws1 principles1 and values increase the appeal of the governance model of the ,united ,states1 and the ,united ,states-led international order1 to states and peoples around the world4 7#f7 ,the international security environment has demonstrated numerous examples of gray zone activities carried out by foreign adversaries1 including the following activities of foreign adversaries3 7,a7

,provision of support to proxy forces1 such as the support provided by ,iran to ,hezbollah and ,shia militia groups4 7,e7 ,provocation by armed forces controlled by the government of the foreign

,united ,states to minimize the extent to which foreign adversaries use gray zone activities in furtherance of great power competition4 7#b7 ,matters included ,to the extent determined appropriate by

,united ,states ,government that would tend to result in the escalation or de-escalation of such activities4 7,c7 ,any incidents in which foreign adversaries could have used1 but ultimately did not use1 gray zone activities to advance the interests of such adversaries1 including an assessment as to why the foreign adversary ultimately did not use gray zone activities4 7,d7 ,the effect of lowering the ,united ,states ,government threshold for the public attribution of detectible covert adversary operations1 unattributable adversary operations1 and deniable adversary operations4 7,e7 ,the effect of lowering the ,united ,states ,government threshold for responding to detectible covert adversary operations1 unattributable adversary operations1 and deniable adversary operations4 7,f7 ,the extent to which the governments of foreign adversaries exercise control over any proxies or parastate actors used by such governments in carrying out gray zone activities4 7,g7 ,the extent to which gray zone activities carried out by foreign adversaries affect the private sector of the ,united ,states4 7,h7 ,the international norms that provide the greatest deterrence to gray zone activities carried out by foreign adversaries1 and opportunities for strengthening those norms4 7,i7 ,the effect1 if any1 of the strengthening of democratic governance abroad on the resilience of

,congress finds that-- 7,a7 climate change most severely impacts vulnerable and disadvantaged communities in the ,united ,states and around the world2 7,b7 it is the responsibility of the ,united ,states ,government to work with and press other countries to address environmental justice and climate justice2 7,c7 the report of the ,united ,nations ,environment ,programme entitled ,climate ,change and the ,cost of ,capital in ,developing ,countries1 dated ,may #bjah1 found that1 in the #aj years prior to the publication of the report1 climate vulnerability has cost the #bj nations most affected by catastrophes rooted in climate change an additional #fb1jjj1jjj1jjj in interest payments alone2 7,d7 individuals and families1 particularly communities of color1 indigenous communities1 and low-income communities1 that are on the frontlines of climate change across the globe are often in close proximity to environmental stressors or sources of pollution2 7,e7 the communities described in subparagraph 7,d7-- 7i7 are often the first exposed to the causes and impacts of climate change2 and 7ii7 have the fewest resources with which to mitigate those impacts or to relocate2 7,f7 all efforts to adapt to and mitigate climate change must include specific protections for and acknowledgment of the harm of climate change to communities of color1 indigenous peoples1 women1 and other frontline communities and marginalized peoples around the world2 7,g7 in ,paris1 on ,december #ab1 #bjae1 the parties to the ,united ,nations ,framework ,convention on ,climate ,change adopted the ,paris ,agreement1 a benchmark agreement-- 7i7 to combat climate change2 7ii7 to accelerate and intensify the actions and investments needed for a sustainable low carbon future2 and 7iii7 that acknowledges1 ,parties should1 when taking action to address climate change1 respect1 promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights1 the right to health1 the rights of indigenous peoples1 local communities1 migrants1 children1 persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable situations and the right to development1 as well as gender equality1 empowerment of women and intergenerational equity2 7,h7 the ,paris ,agreement-- 7i7 notes the importance of climate justice when mitigating and adapting to climate change2 and 7ii7 recognizes the need for an effective and progressive response to the urgent threat of climate change2 7,i7 it is imperative for all countries to undertake mitigation activities to rapidly meet the goal of limiting global warming to not more than #a4e degrees ,celsius2 7,j7 developed countries have the greatest capacity to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions1 while-- 7i7 developing countries have the least capacity to engage in mitigation activities2 and 7ii7 the capacity of developing countries to engage in mitigation activities is less than the national mitigation potential of those developing countries2 7,k7 the determination for the fair share of mitigation and adaptation activities for each country must take into account-- 7i7 the historic greenhouse gas emissions of each country2 and 7ii7 the current capacity of each country to both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts2 7,l7 developed countries that have historically emitted a disproportionately high share of greenhouse gas emissions1 and reaped the economic benefits of those polluting activities1 have a corresponding disproportionately greater responsibility to engage in global mitigation and adaptation activities1 as compared to less industrialized countries that have historically polluted far less2 7,m7 the only realistic way for less industrialized countries to meet their full mitigation potential is through international climate financing by more developed countries2 7,n7 in the #bjji ,copenhagen ,accord1 developed countries committed to jointly mobilize1 starting in #bjbj1 #ajj1jjj1jjj1jjj per year in public climate financing 7as well as private investment and other alternative forms of finance71 for developing countries1 a commitment reaffirmed in #bjae in ,decision #a_/;,,cp4#ba of the ,united ,nations ,framework ,convention on ,climate ,change1 ,adoption of the ,paris ,agreement2 7,o7 the #ajj1jjj1jjj1jjj commitment described in subparagraph 7,n7 was a political compromise that falls short of the actual financing needs for climate action in developing countries2 7,p7 ,bloomberg ,new ,energy ,finance has estimated that the transition to renewable energy sources in developing countries will require hundreds of billions of dollars annually2 7,q7 the ,united ,nations ,environment ,programme has estimated that adaptation needs relating to climate change in developing countries may be as much as #cjj1jjj1jjj1jjj annually by #bjcj2 7,r7 the ,green ,climate ,fund was created in #bjaj by #aid countries to serve as a crucial financing mechanism to help developing countries limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change2 7,s7 in #bjae1 the ,united ,nations ,framework ,convention on ,climate ,change agreed that the ,green ,climate ,fund should serve the goals of the ,paris ,agreement1 which states that developed country ,parties shall provide financial resources to assist developing country ,parties with respect to both mitigation and adaptation in continuation of their existing obligations under the ,convention2 7,t7 the ,green ,climate ,fund is an essential institution for climate financing1 as the ,green ,climate ,fund ensures-- 7i7 balanced governance between developed and developing countries2 7ii7 stakeholder engagement and discourse2 7iii7 a balanced approach between mitigation and adaptation2 7iv7 fair and equal labor and working conditions2 7v7 conservation of biodiversity and critical habitats2 and 7vi7 strong environmental1 social1 and gender protections2 7,u7 the ,green ,climate ,fund-- 7i7 promotes and protects human rights and the rights of marginalized groups1 including indigenous peoples1 women1 children1 and people with disabilities2 and 7ii7 continues to take steps to strengthen protection for marginalized groups2 7iii7 the ,united ,states committed #c1jjj1jjj1jjj of the first #aj1jjj1jjj1jjj raised for the initial resource mobilization period of the ,green ,climate ,fund1 though only #ac of this pledge was fulfilled1 leaving the ,united ,states the only country to fall substantially short of a commitment of a country to the ,green ,climate ,fund2 and 7,v7 the ,green ,climate ,fund is a fully operational and proven institution supporting well over #ajj projects and programs in developing countries around the world4 7#b7 ,statement of policy ,it is the policy of the ,united ,states to provide climate financing-- 7,a7 as an essential part of the global effort to combat climate change2 and 7,b7 that-- 7i7 upholds the principles of environmental justice and climate justice2 7ii7 supports programs and projects developed by recipient countries and communities2 7iii7 is designed and implemented with the free1 prior1 and informed consent of indigenous peoples and other impacted communities2 7iv7 promotes gender equality as essential in all of the projects and programs supported by climate financing2 7v7 includes best practices for environmental and social safeguards to ensure that projects and programs supported by climate financing respect fundamental human rights2 and 7vi7 addresses both mitigation and adaptation as essential aspects of responding to climate change4 7b7 ,authorization of appropriations ,there are authorized to be appropriated for contributions to the ,green ,climate ,fund #d1jjj1jjj1jjj for each of the fiscal years #bjbb and #bjbc4 7c7

deforestation 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,the ,people's ,republic of ,china 7,,prc7 is having a substantial impact on the most important forest ecosystems in the world1 and illegal logging and agricultural expansion have caused the massive forest loss4 ,according to the ,world ,resources ,institute1 the ,,prc has become the world's leading importer and consumer of timber products1 soybeans1 and palm oil1 as well as the largest manufacturing and export country of forest products4 7#b7 ,in #bjaf1 the ,,prc imported logs from more than #ajj countries in the world4 ,according to a ,global ,witness report1 between ,january #bjac and ,april #bjbj1 ,chinese financial institutions provided more than #bb4e billion to major companies that produce and trade commodities at high risk of driving deforestation4 ,these commodities include beef1 soy1 palm oil1 paper1 pulp1 rubber1 and timber4 7#c7 ,further1 the growing international demand for such agricultural commodities causes the majority of deforestation emissions globally1 and most of the associated land-clearing violates applicable national or local laws4 ,according to a #bjba ,forest ,trends report1 at least #fi percent of forest land converted to pasture or cropland was cleared illegally4 7#d7 ,the growing demand for timber and agricultural commodities has accelerated unsustainable--and often illegal--logging and the trade of timber products1 which harms the countries in which it takes place by siphoning away government tax revenue1 transforming the livelihoods of communities dependent on forests1 and hurting legal businesses' competitiveness4 ,further1 illegal logging and illegal conversion of forest to agricultural land threatens biodiversity and accelerates deforestation and forest degradation in key timber supply countries1 undermining ,united ,states and global climate goals4 7#e7 ,the ,united ,states should work with international partners to ensure that ,chinese and other banks factor into lending practices the environmental and social impact of the companies they finance4 ,this should include pressuring the ,,prc and other countries to revise regulations to require the banking sector not to finance companies linked to deforestation and include rigorous checks on the companies operating in sectors or regions where there is a high risk of deforestation to ensure

annual global retail value of illegal wildlife trade is between #e billion to #bc billion1 and when losses to ecosystem services are considered1 the ,world ,bank estimates the cost of environmental crime is between #a trillion and #b trillion1 annually4 7#b7 ,wildlife traffickers do not prefer particular species or commodities1 but instead1 according to the non-governmental organization1 ,united for ,wildlife1 wildlife traffickers focus on the demand1 availability1 profit potential1 and relatively low risk associated with acquiring1 trading1 and distributing wildlife globally4 7#c7 ,the trafficking of wildlife affects human health because of undetected spread of zoonotic diseases1 scarcity in food resources1 and the environmental results of degraded ecosystems4 7#d7 ,also1 the trafficking of illicit wildlife such as pangolins from ,africa1 macaws from ,peru1 turtles from the ,united ,states1 and rosewood species smuggled globally threatens our national security at home and ,american interests abroad because rogue organizations1 including transnational criminal organizations1 use the proceeds to fund illegal and violent acts throughout the world1 fueling corruption and benefiting from corrupt government officials1 weakening the rule of law1 and distorting commercial markets4 7#e7 ,many of these supply chains are affected by ,chinese activity1 from the criminal organizations involved in the initial poaching of targeted commodities to the demand for goods produced from endangered plants and animals4 7#f7 ,the ,organized ,crime ,drug ,enforcement ,task ,forces

7#h7 ,because wildlife trafficking is executed as part of a commodity-agnostic global enterprise1 the ,united ,states and allies of the ,united ,states should focus efforts to reduce wildlife trafficking on curtailing the expansive networks that traffic wildlife and other goods and on bringing enforcement actions against persons who launder the proceeds of those persons who traffic wildlife rather than pursue specific nations1 groups1 or commodities4 7#i7 ,in the past decade1 the illicit wildlife trade has moved online1 mainly to social media platforms1 creating jurisdictional

commitment to the ,world ,trade ,organization 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,the ,united ,states is an original member of the ,world ,trade ,organization 7,,wto7 and a key architect of the institution4 7#b7 ,the ,,wto is a critical forum for strengthening the multilateral rules-based trading system and a bedrock of ,united ,states trade policy4 7#c7 ,the ,united ,states has provided the leadership and political will to advance the goal of the ,,wto to create and enforce rules that reduce obstacles to international trade that help ensure a level playing field4 7#d7 ,sustained ,united ,states leadership in the ,,wto provides best paths to achieve necessary ,,wto reforms1 create new trade rules that enhance opportunities for all1 and address the needs and challenges of the ,united ,states and all other free and open economies in the #bast century4 7#e7 ,the ,united ,states recognizes the historic nature of ,dr4 ,ngozi ,okonjo-,iweala's selection as the ,,wto's new ,director-,general as being both the first woman and first ,african to be chosen4 7#f7 ,the ,,wto recognizes that trade should be conducted with a view to raising standards of living1 ensuring full employment and a large and steadily growing volume of real income and effective demand1 expanding the production of and trade in goods and services1 optimally using the world's resources in accordance with the objective of sustainable development1 and seeking to protect and preserve the environment4 7#g7 ,the ,,wto is the preferred forum in which member economies resolve disputes that arise among them4 7#h7 ,the ,united ,states has consistently supported having a functional1 efficient dispute settlement mechanism at the ,,wto that strictly follows the ,dispute ,settlement ,understanding as agreed by all ,,wto members and remains accountable to ,,wto members4 7#i7 ,the ,united ,states1 for decades1 has sought to strengthen the ,,wto dispute settlement system by advocating for necessary1 thoughtful and prudent reforms4 7#aj7 ,the ,united ,states has expressed longstanding concerns that the ,,wto ,appellate ,body1 through its findings and procedural liberties1 is improperly adding to or diminishing the rights or obligations of ,,wto members4 7#aa7 ,the ,united ,states has consistently urged the ,,wto to improve transparency by requiring that all dispute settlement hearings at the ,,wto be open to the public1 and all submissions by the parties be publicly available4 7#ab7 ,while several ,,wto members have joined the ,united ,states in agreeing to open hearings to the public and in making public submissions1 most ,,wto ,members continue to insist on closed hearings and confidential submissions4 7#ac7 ,transparent ,,wto dispute settlement enhances ,,wto members' understanding of the dispute settlement system1 particularly for those who do not participate often in the system4 7#ad7 ,open dispute settlement promotes the accountability1 professionalism1 and impartiality of ,,wto adjudicators1 to the benefit of the dispute settlement system as a whole4 7#ae7 ,many ,,wto members have failed to meet basic notification obligations making it difficult and1 in some cases1 impossible to monitor or determine their compliance with ,,wto obligations1 including subsidies disciplines4 7#af7 ,the ,united ,states has encouraged1 by proposing various incentives and administrative measures1 better compliance with notification obligations4 7#ag7 ,the ,,wto allows members to self-identify as developing countries in order to receive special and differential treatment4 7#ah7 ,some self-declared developing countries that are now advanced continue to demand the same special and differential treatment intended for much smaller1 less developed members1 creating asymmetries that hinder the ,,wto from achieving meaningful outcomes in current and future negotiations4 7#ai7 ,for over a decade1 most ,,wto members have refused to engage in serious efforts to address longstanding ,united ,states calls for reform of dispute settlement and other important aspects of the ,,wto system4 7#bj7 ,,wto members are engaged in negotiations to reform the ,,wto and create new rules1 including with respect to fisheries subsidies and e-commerce4 7b7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 the ,united ,states should continue to lead reform efforts to ensure that the ,world ,trade ,organization 7,,wto7 functions as agreed by the membership and is updated appropriately for the #bast century2 7#b7 the ,united ,states should continue to urge other ,,wto members to work with the ,united ,states to achieve needed reforms so that the ,,wto and its members can address unjustified barriers to trade and promote economic norms that improve the standard of living across the world2 and 7#c7 the ,united ,states ,trade ,representative should continue to lead and work with other countries to pursue reforms at the ,,wto that-- 7,a7 address concerns with the ,,wto's ,appellate ,body2 7,b7 improve the efficiency and transparency of dispute settlement proceedings2 7,c7 remediate the failure to satisfy notification
