The federal government would be required to publish an annual list of Chinese companies operating mines in African countries that either use forced labor or cause serious environmental damage. This list would help identify problematic mining operations and could inform U.S. trade and foreign policy decisions regarding these companies. The requirement affects Chinese mining companies, African nations where mining occurs, and U.S. policymakers deciding how to respond to labor and environmental violations.
