(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.)
East Asia Security Act of 2005 - (Sec. 2) States that Congress, in view of the gravity of European arms sales to the People's Republic of China (PRC), believes it is necessary to provide for greater oversight with respect to those areas of international armament cooperation that present increased risk levels to U.S. security interests, and to authorize measures which the President may draw on in deterring foreign support for China's military buildup.
(Sec. 3) Directs the President, with specified exceptions, to transmit a report to the appropriate congressional committees that identifies every person of a member country of the European Union (EU), and any other foreign person the President may consider appropriate, with respect to whom there is credible information that the person, on or after January 1, 2005, exported to: (1) the PRC any item on the Wassenaar Munitions List; or (2) the PRC's military, intelligence, or other security forces any item on the Wassenaar List of Dual Use Goods and Technologies, or any other dual use item intended for use with a Wassenaar Munitions List item.
(Sec. 4) Directs the President to transmit a report to the appropriate congressional committees that: (1) identifies every foreign government with respect to which the United States is carrying out specified cooperative projects as defense memoranda of understandings or under the Arms Export Control Act, and whose policies or practices permit the export of any item described in section 3 of this Act; and (2) describes such cooperative projects and policies or practices.
Requires: (1) a U.S. Munitions List license for the export of defense articles or defense services by any person who is not an officer or employee of the U.S. government in furtherance of a cooperative project with a country identified in such report; and (2) congressional notification of license issuance.
(Sec. 5) States that special care should be taken with respect to foreign persons who sell arms and related technology to the PRC while simultaneously seeking ownership of U.S. defense articles or defense services, including U.S. funded defense research and development, through the acquisition or control of U.S. defense firms.
Requires a license for the transfer of ownership or control of U.S. defense articles or defense services arising from the acquisition or control of a person required to be registered under the Arms Export Control Act whenever the person gaining acquisition or control is: (1) a foreign national of the PRC or otherwise subject to PRC jurisdiction, ownership, or control (sets forth additional license requirements for such persons); (2) a foreign person identified in a report transmitted under section 3 of this Act or having its principal place of business in a country described in section 4 of this Act; or (3) a U.S. person owned or controlled by a foreign person.

which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To authorize measures to deter arms transfers by foreign countries to
the People's Republic of China.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``East Asia Security Act of 2005''.
SEC. 2. STATEMENTS OF POLICY.
Congress--
(1) previously expressed its strong concerns in House
Resolution 57 of February 2, 2005, and Senate Resolution 91 of
March 17, 2005, with the transfer of armaments and related
technology to the People's Republic of China by member states
of the European Union, which increased eightfold from 2001 to
2003, and with plans to terminate in the near future the arms
embargo they imposed in 1989 following the Tiananmen Square
massacre;
(2) welcomes deferral of a decision by the European Council
to terminate its arms embargo following adoption of those
Resolutions, the President's visit to Europe, and growing
concern among countries in the regions and the general public
on both sides of the Atlantic;
(3) welcomes the decision by the European Parliament on
April 14, 2005, by a vote of 421 to 85, to oppose the lifting
of the European Union's arms embargo on the People's Republic
of China, and resolutions issued by a number of elected
parliamentary bodies in Europe also opposing the lifting of the
arms embargo;
(4) also welcomes the onset of a strategic dialogue between
the European Commission and the Government of the United States
on the security situation in East Asia, through which it is
hoped a greater understanding will emerge of the consequences
of European assistance to the military buildup of the People's
Republic of China for peace and stability in that region, to
the security interests of the United States and its friends and
allies in the region, and, in particular, to the safety of
United States Armed Forces whose presence in the region has
been a decisive factor in ensuring peace and prosperity since
the end of World War II;
(5) hopes that a more intensive dialogue with Europe on
this matter will clarify for United States friends and allies
in Europe how their ``non-lethal'' arms transfers improve the
force projection of the People's Republic of China, are far
from benign, and enhance the prospects for the threat or use of
force in resolving the status of Taiwan, a troubling prospect
made more ominous by recent adoption of a new law by the
Chinese National People's Congress expressly authorizing the
use of force;
(6) also hopes that this dialogue will result in an
important new consensus between the United States and its
European partners on the need for coordinated policies which
encourage the development of democracy in the People's Republic
of China and which discourage, not assist, China's unjustified
military buildup and pursuit of weapons that threaten its
neighbors;
(7) however, deeply regrets that none of the European
friends and allies of the United States who have been
transferring arms to the People's Republic of China has
announced a cessation or even a temporary halt to those
transfers while this new dialogue with the United States
ensues, and notes with concern that such European friends and
allies have provided little, if any, transparency to the United
States Government into the full range and capabilities of all
of the armaments and related technology that they have
transferred to date and continue even now to do so;
(8) is further troubled by public reports describing well
known European companies as suppliers to weapons programs of
the People's Republic of China, who are also participants in
numerous sensitive United States Government weapons programs,
and the increased risks of diversion of United States weapons
technology to China inherent in such an undesirable situation;
and
(9) in view of the gravity of European arms sales to the
People's Republic of China, which have not abated, believes it
is necessary to make provision for greater scrutiny and
oversight with respect to those areas of international armament
cooperation that present increased levels of risk to the
security interests of the United States and to authorize
appropriate measures which the President may drawn on in
deterring foreign support for China's military buildup in order
to safeguard the national security interests of the United
States and peace and security in East Asia.
