Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in condemning the Government of the People's Republic of China for its harassment and efforts to intimidate American citizens and other individuals on United States soil with the goal of suppressing speech and narratives the People's Republic of China finds unwelcome.

HRES 130 is a non-binding resolution condemning the Chinese government for harassing and intimidating U.S. citizens, particularly scholars and activists, on American soil to suppress their free speech and research. It specifically highlights tactics like state media attacks on U.S. scholars, pressure on Chinese citizens to withdraw support for U.S. research, and diplomatic interference in protests (e.g., during Xi Jinping’s 2023 San Francisco visit). The resolution calls for U.S. law enforcement to address such harassment, academic institutions to protect free research, and the executive branch to raise these issues in diplomatic talks. As a formal statement, it aims to oppose the Chinese government’s efforts to stifle free expression within U.S. borders.
