Embassy Construction Integrity Act of 2023
Would have barred the State Department from using overseas buildings linked to the Chinese government.
Tradeoff
Would have required State to avoid Chinese-linked builders and owners for embassy buildings. Also would have required State to tell Congress within 7 days about any Chinese-linked deal it made anyway.
