This bill establishes a prohibition on the sale of petroleum products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to China. It specifically prevents the Secretary of Energy from selling these products to any entity under the ownership, control, or influence of the Chinese Communist Party . Additionally, the legislation mandates that any drawdowns and sales from the SPR must include a strict condition: the petroleum products cannot be exported to the People's Republic of China . This measure is designed to safeguard U.S. strategic energy reserves and prevent their direct or indirect supply to China, thereby protecting national energy security interests.
