The resolution presented to the West Virginia Legislature asserts that the People's Republic of China (PRC) is engaged in an illegal, asymmetric war against the United States and specifically against West Virginia. This war is characterized by unconventional tactics, including the use of chemical and biological warfare agents, cyberattacks, and influence operations. The resolution emphasizes the need for the West Virginia government to collaborate with the federal government and other states to develop strategies to counteract these hostile actions and protect the citizens of West Virginia.

In response to this perceived threat, the resolution calls for the forgiveness of all public debt held by PRC-affiliated entities since October 1, 2019. It urges the Governor and relevant state officials to take necessary actions to implement the resolution and identify PRC entities for potential recovery of debts or property. Additionally, the resolution invites other states to join West Virginia in recognizing and addressing the illegal war being waged by the PRC against the United States. A certified copy of the resolution will be forwarded to key state officials and legislative leaders in other states to encourage collective action.
