      "summary": "Defense companies of the People's Republic of China (PRC) fall under two hierarchies: those\nbelonging to the military, or the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and those in the defense industries\nunder the State Council. This CRS Report focuses on PLA-owned businesses. Some advocate\nlimiting economic ties with PLA companies. Others say targeting the PLA would unnecessarily hurt\nstrategic goals with China and would be formidable to enforce. Complicating the issue is the ban\non the PLA doing business that China's president ordered on July 22, 1998. The FY1999 National\nDefense Authorization Act (NDAA) required a published list of PLA companies operating in the\nUnited States, but some Members of Congress say the Administration did not comply. The FY2001\nNDAA again required a report (may be classified) on such companies. This CRS report may be\nupdated as warranted.",
