HR 1324 United States House · 118th Congress

Uyghur Human Rights Sanctions Review Act

This bill requires the Treasury Secretary to review 10 specific Chinese companies within 60 days to determine if they are responsible for or complicit in serious human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Muslim groups in Xinjiang, or meet criteria under existing sanctions laws. If determined to meet these criteria, the companies - such as Hikvision, BGI Group, Tiandy Technologies, Alibaba, and ByteDance - would be added to a U.S. sanctions list blocking their assets. The Treasury must then report its findings to Congress, including the reasons for the determination, in an unclassified report with a potential classified annex. The bill directly affects these listed entities by subjecting them to potential U.S. financial sanctions.
