Summary

The bill directs the Secretary of State to issue each year a public list of People’s Republic of China‑owned mining companies operating in African nations that are found to use forced labor or damage protected environments. The list must name the companies and the specific mines or concessions involved, and be sent to the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees. It is intended to increase transparency and discourage abusive and environmentally harmful mining practices.
