The resolution, introduced on February 20, 2025, by the West Virginia Legislature, calls for the state to formally recognize and address what it describes as an illegal, asymmetric war being waged by the People's Republic of China (PRC) against the United States and West Virginia. The resolution outlines various unconventional tactics employed by the PRC, including the use of chemical and biological warfare agents, cyberattacks, and influence operations. It emphasizes the need for a coordinated response from the West Virginia government in collaboration with federal and state authorities to counteract these perceived threats and protect the citizens of West Virginia.

Additionally, the resolution proposes the forgiveness of all public debt held by PRC-affiliated entities in West Virginia since October 1, 2019, as a measure to mitigate the impact of this alleged war. It calls for the Governor and key state officials, including the State Treasurer, State Auditor, and Attorney General, to take necessary actions to identify PRC entities and facilitate the recovery of debts or property. The resolution also invites other states to join West Virginia in recognizing and responding to the PRC's actions, aiming for a united front against what it characterizes as a hostile campaign against the United States.
