S 1772 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Confronting CCP Human Rights Abusers Act

This bill requires the U.S. Commerce Department to add China's Ministry of Public Security's Institute of Forensic Science (including its aliases) to the entity list within 60 days of enactment, restricting U.S. exports to it. The measure directly affects this Chinese government entity, which is alleged to be involved in human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang. The law includes a waiver provision allowing the President to exempt the entity if certified it isn't engaging in activities contrary to U.S. foreign policy or contributing to repression, forced labor, or surveillance in Xinjiang. The entity list is a Commerce Department sanctions tool that blocks U.S. technology and materials from being supplied to designated organizations.
