A resolution condemning the People's Republic of China's Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, concerned with its implications on the rights and freedoms, as well as survival of the identity, of Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and other affected communities, and calling on the Government of the People's Republic of China to end its abuses and campaigns of transnational repression that undermine United States sovereignty and threaten the safety and freedoms of people in the United States.
This Senate resolution condemns China's new Ethnic Unity and Progress Law for allegedly enforcing cultural assimilation and restricting the rights of Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and other minority groups. The bill directly addresses concerns about the law's provisions, which it claims criminalize dissent, limit religious freedom, and allow for extraterritorial enforcement against individuals outside China. It calls on the Chinese government to repeal the law, imposes sanctions on officials involved in human rights violations, and urges the U.S. to coordinate with allies to monitor these policies. Additionally, the resolution reaffirms support for the Dalai Lama's role in Tibetan religious succession and demands that China resume dialogue with his representatives.
