investment or lending from China, and for other purposes.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Thwarting Regional Adversary
Investments Now Act'' or the ``TRAIN Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) In 2015, Chinese President Xi Jinping issued an
official outline of the principles, framework, priorities, and
cooperation mechanisms of the Belt and Road Initiative
(referred to in this section as the ``BRI'').

international organizations have signed BRI cooperation
documents with China, including 53 countries in sub-Saharan
Africa, 34 countries in Europe and Central Asia, and 24
countries in East Asia and the Pacific.
(3) Many developing countries do not possess the legal,
technological, or intelligence capabilities necessary to
properly evaluate the national security, debt sustainability,
and other risks posed by related agreements with Chinese
entities or the Chinese Government.
(4) Due to the expanding investments by foreign adversaries
in the economic and infrastructure sectors of allied and
partner countries, the United States should provide technical
training, assistance, and support to evaluate the risks these
investments pose, and provide a formal review of the future
impact these investments would have, on partner economies.
