Confronting CCP Human Rights Abusers Act
China Trade Restrictions: Human Rights Abuse Sanctions
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. No further actions are scheduled at this time, and the bill is not moving forward. There is no companion bill listed for this proposal.
Legislative Progress
While there is strong concern about China in Congress, this specific bill is led by a small group of Republicans and has not yet gained the broad support needed to pass.
Key Points
- This bill targets a specific Chinese government office called the Institute of Forensic Science. It requires the Department of Commerce to put this group on a trade blacklist within 60 days of the bill becoming law.
- Being on this list means American companies would be restricted from selling technology or products to this Chinese office. This is meant to stop U.S. goods from being used in human rights abuses.
- The bill aims to punish the Chinese government for its treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslim groups. These groups have faced mass detention and high-tech surveillance in the Xinjiang region.
- The President has the power to stop these restrictions if they can prove the Chinese institute is not involved in human rights violations or acting against U.S. interests.
