Congress.gov lists H.R.1 sponsor as Rep. Steve Scalise, status Passed House, and says it would increase American energy production and critical-minerals processing; its summary says DOE must strengthen supply chains for critical energy resources, and the bill would bar the Chinese Communist Party or China-controlled entities from acquiring interests in oil, gas, farmland, renewable-energy lands, or mining claims.

Scalise personally introduced a House-passed bill with domestic energy, critical-mineral supply-chain, and anti-China land/mineral ownership provisions. The bill did not become law, but it is a concrete legislative step toward reducing reliance on China-linked resources.

Public Law 118-50 includes Division H, Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, making it unlawful to distribute or host foreign-adversary-controlled applications, and specifically identifies ByteDance and TikTok. It also includes Division I, barring data brokers from transferring U.S. individuals' sensitive data to foreign adversaries or entities controlled by them.

The TikTok/foreign-adversary application and data-broker restrictions became law, showing an enacted federal step related to reducing Chinese control over U.S. technology/data exposure. Scalise supported the House version of the app-control bill.

The Clerk records Roll Call 404 on H.R.4346 as Passed, 243-187, on July 28, 2022. The vote list records Scalise, Republican, Louisiana, voting Nay.

Scalise voted against the House vote that sent the CHIPS and Science Act vehicle to enactment. Because that law was a major federal semiconductor and technology supply-chain response to dependence on China, this is contrary evidence against full delivery of the promise.
