The CLEAR Act of 2025 requires the Secretary of Defense to include Chinese entities on other U.S.
The CLEAR Act of 2025, or Chinese List Entity Alignment and Review Act of 2025, amends the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. It mandates that the Secretary of Defense review and include on the annual list of Chinese military companies operating in the United States any Chinese entities added to other U.S. government lists of entities subject to restrictions or scrutiny due to concerns about their activities or affiliations. This ensures alignment and review of entities across different U.S. government lists.
