HRES 462 United States House · 118th Congress

Remembering the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and condemning the continued and intensifying crackdown on human rights and basic freedoms within the People's Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, by the Chinese Communist Party, and for other purposes.

This resolution (HRES 462) is a symbolic House of Representatives measure commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square events as described in the resolution and condemning China's government for "continued and intensifying crackdown on human rights" in mainland China and Hong Kong. It specifically calls on China to end censorship about the events, allow a UN investigation, uphold Hong Kong's autonomy under the Joint Declaration, and permit exiled activists to return safely. The resolution makes no binding policy changes but expresses support for human rights movements in China, Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang. As a non-binding resolution, it does not alter U.S. law or policy.
