To extend authorities to impose sanctions under certain laws relating to Hong Kong, Tibet, and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
HR 8366 extends the duration of US sanctions authorities targeting Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang from five to ten years under four existing laws. It modifies specific provisions in the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act (2019), the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act (2018), and the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act (2020) to extend sanction periods. The bill also extends the expiration date for a 2019 law banning munitions exports to the Hong Kong Police Force to December 31, 2029. These changes maintain current sanctions policies without introducing new restrictions.
