The House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill to strip communist China of its international status as a developing nation, thereby limiting the regime’s access to certain aid from the United States and other nations.

H.R. 1107, colloquially referred to as the “PRC is Not a Developing Country Act,” aims to ensure that China’s communist regime does not receive any of the preferential treatment in international treaties, agreements, and organizations that might otherwise be afforded to a developing nation.
