Condemning the People's Republic of China's Law on the Promotion of Ethnic Unity and Progress and the Chinese Communist Party's campaign of forced assimilation against ethnic and religious minorities.
This resolution condemns China's new Ethnic Unity Law and the Communist Party's campaign of forced assimilation against ethnic and religious minorities, including Tibetans, Uyghurs, and others. It specifically criticizes provisions that prioritize Mandarin and Party ideology over minority cultures, risk criminalizing peaceful expression, and include extraterritorial clauses that could target Americans for speech or advocacy. The bill urges the U.S. government to impose sanctions on officials involved in these policies, protect diaspora communities from harassment, and report on human rights violations in China's annual reports. Additionally, it affirms that the recognition of Tibetan Buddhist leaders is a religious matter free from Chinese interference and calls for the release of political prisoners.
