Strengthening U.S. Advanced Technology Protection from Chinese Diversion in NEA, WHA, and EAP

This NOFO combats China’s efforts to acquire U.S.-origin advanced technologies and control critical supply-chain nodes that enable proliferation-relevant capabilities. LOE 1 strengthens GCC governments' ability to implement U.S. AI license conditions, detect and prevent diversion of U.S.-origin advanced technologies, and counter Chinese exploitation of regional transshipment hubs. LOE 2 helps priority Western Hemisphere countries design and enforce fair, effective investment screening to block Chinese access to sensitive technologies, critical infrastructure, and minerals essential to defense supply chains. LOE 3 reinforces export controls and oversight of free trade and special economic zones across ASEAN and Mongolia to disrupt Chinese diversion of emerging and dual‑use technologies through regional trading hubs.
