To direct the President to impose sanctions on the People's Republic of China.

HR 3597 directs the President to impose economic sanctions on the People's Republic of China for specific actions, including currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, patent infringement, foreign surveillance, child labor, and the enslavement of Uyghur Muslims. The bill also cites China's responsibility for over one million U.S. deaths from the pandemic. Sanctions would be implemented by the Department of State's Office of Economic Sanctions Policy and Implementation. This bill would directly affect the Chinese government and its economic interactions with the United States.
