|Updated:

The House passed legislation on April 27 that would require the State Department to submit ongoing reports to Congress documenting China’s support of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

H.R. 7314, referred to as the “Assessing Xi’s Interference and Subversion Act” or, more simply, the “AXIS Act,” will now go to the Senate for consideration.
