China-Africa Mining Transparency Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State to publish a list at least once a year for five years of Chinese-linked companies that the Secretary assesses are mining critical minerals, gold, or iron in African countries using forced labor or in a way that harms the environment of protected areas. The list would also name each mine, mining zone, or concession where this mining happens. The list would be sent to the foreign affairs committees of Congress and posted publicly online. In making the list, the Secretary would use open-source information and embassy reports, and consult with other federal agencies and with officials in the African countries named.
