“ The Biden Administration allowing China to access American tax credits is unacceptable ,” Miller says . “ The weak guardrails from the administration for the 45X tax credits continue to give China an advantage over American manufacturers , effectively killing American jobs and stifling innovation . The government ’ s first responsibility is to protect the United States , not give handouts to our adversaries . The Biden Administration and Washington Democrats have failed American taxpayers and American businesses on every account . We need a strategic decoupling from China ; stopping them from taking our tax credits is the bare minimum .”
“ President Biden has prioritized a radical climate agenda ahead of our national security , and his Inflation Reduction Act is giving foreign adversaries the opportunity to benefit from U . S . tax dollars while they simultaneously put American companies out of business ,” says Rubio . “ I am proud to introduce the Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act , which would ensure that future benefits for American companies do not end up in the hands of our adversaries .”
The Protecting American Advanced Manufacturing Act would prevent 45X tax credits from supporting companies :
• That are owned , controlled or operated by a foreign adversary , such as China , Russia , North Korea and Iran
• Whose management and operations are directly controlled by a foreign adversary
• Who are controlled by a foreign adversary through debt , lease agreements and contract manufacturing arrangements
• Who are controlled by a foreign adversary through shell companies
