Combatting the Persecution of Religious Groups in China Act

This bill directs the U.S. government to consider Chinese officials responsible for religious freedom abuses as subject to sanctions under existing U.S. law. It requires the State Department to support programs promoting religious freedom in China and monitor Chinese government actions targeting religious minorities. The bill also urges Congress to designate China as a "country of particular concern" for religious freedom, call for the release of detained religious prisoners, and strengthen diplomatic efforts with international partners on this issue. It specifically addresses abuses against groups including Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and others facing restrictions in China.
