The resolution introduced in West Virginia on February 10, 2026, 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. The Legislature 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 state government in collaboration with the federal government to counteract these hostile actions and protect the citizens of West Virginia.

To address this situation, the resolution calls for the forgiveness of all public debt held by PRC-affiliated entities since October 1, 2019, and urges the Governor and relevant state officials to take necessary actions to implement the resolution. Additionally, it invites other states to join West Virginia in recognizing and responding to the PRC's actions, thereby fostering a collective effort to mitigate the impacts of this perceived illegal war. The resolution also mandates that copies be forwarded to key state officials and legislative leaders in other states to encourage broader participation in this initiative.
