The "NO LIMITS Act of 2025" aims to impose sanctions on entities from the People's Republic of China (PRC) that provide support for Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Congress finds that PRC entities are actively evading United States sanctions and materially supporting Russia's defense industrial base, necessitating new authorities to protect U.S. national security. Within 90 days of enactment, the President is authorized to block property and interests of foreign persons located in the PRC who operate in Russia's technology or defense sectors, or who are involved in malicious cyber activities, dual-use technology production, or facilitating sanctions evasion for PRC armed forces or intelligence. Additionally, within 180 days, sanctions may be imposed on specific known Chinese military companies with business operations in the Russian Federation. These sanctions leverage the powers granted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with exceptions for intelligence activities and the importation of goods. The bill also mandates that the Secretaries of Treasury, State, and Defense determine within 180 days if several major Chinese arms manufacturers meet the criteria for these sanctions. Furthermore, it expands existing licensing requirements for PRC or Russian entities on the entity list to include any subsidiary or other entity over which the listed entity has control, aiming to prevent the diversion of resources to Russia's war effort. The Secretaries of Commerce, Defense, and State are directed to issue necessary regulations within 90 days to implement these provisions.
