The new bill would have government agencies referring to the Department of Defense’s 1260H list of Chinese military companies operating in the US.

The US Senate and the House of Representatives have released the final text of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

Included within the text is the updated Biosecure Act, which would restrict how US pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies do business with Chinese companies that work with the Chinese military.
