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 bill aims to condemn the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law enacted by the People's Republic of China, which has raised concerns about its impact on the rights, freedoms, and cultural identity of groups such as Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and others. It also urges the Chinese government to cease its abusive practices and transnational repression that threaten the sovereignty of the United States and the safety and freedoms of U.S. residents.
The bill would affect the citizens of China who are part of the mentioned ethnic groups, as well as the U.S. government and its citizens. The resolution seeks to highlight the human rights issues and call for international action to address them.
As of June 24, 2026, the bill was introduced and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations for further consideration. It has bipartisan support from both Democratic and Republican co-sponsors, including Jacky Rosen, Jim Banks, John Curtis, and Jeff Merkley. The next steps will involve committee review and potential further legislative action.
