    Sec. 6901. Findings

-STATUTE-
      The Congress finds the following:
        (1) In 1980, the United States opened trade relations with the
      People's Republic of China by entering into a bilateral trade
      agreement, which was approved by joint resolution enacted
      pursuant to section 2435(c) of title 19.
        (2) Since 1980, the President has consistently extended
      nondiscriminatory treatment to products of the People's Republic
      of China, pursuant to his authority under section 2434 of title
      19.
        (3) Since 1980, the United States has entered into several
      additional trade-related agreements with the People's Republic of
      China, including a memorandum of understanding on market access
      in 1992, two agreements on intellectual property rights
      protection in 1992 and 1995, and an agreement on agricultural
      cooperation in 1999.
        (4) Trade in goods between the People's Republic of China and
      the United States totaled almost $95,000,000,000 in 1999,
      compared with approximately $18,000,000,000 in 1989, representing
      growth of approximately 428 percent over 10 years.
        (5) The United States merchandise trade deficit with the
      People's Republic of China has grown from approximately
      $6,000,000,000 in 1989 to over $68,000,000,000 in 1999, a growth
      of over 1,000 percent.
        (6) The People's Republic of China currently restricts imports
      through relatively high tariffs and nontariff barriers, including
      import licensing, technology transfer, and local content
      requirements.
        (7) United States businesses attempting to sell goods to
      markets in the People's Republic of China have complained of
      uneven application of tariffs, customs procedures, and other
      laws, rules, and administrative measures affecting their ability
      to sell their products in the Chinese market.
        (8) On November 15, 1999, the United States and the People's
      Republic of China concluded a bilateral agreement concerning
      terms of the People's Republic of China's eventual accession to
      the World Trade Organization.
        (9) The commitments that the People's Republic of China made in
      its November 15, 1999, agreement with the United States promise
      to eliminate or greatly reduce the principal barriers to trade
      with and investment in the People's Republic of China, if those
      commitments are effectively complied with and enforced.
        (10) The record of the People's Republic of China in
      implementing trade-related commitments has been mixed. While the
      People's Republic of China has generally met the requirements of
      the 1992 market access memorandum of understanding and the 1992
      and 1995 agreements on intellectual property rights protection,
      other measures remain in place or have been put into place which
      tend to diminish the benefit to United States businesses,
      farmers, and workers from the People's Republic of China's
      implementation of those earlier commitments. Notably,
      administration of tariff-rate quotas and other trade-related laws
      remains opaque, new local content requirements have proliferated,
      restrictions on importation of animal and plant products are not
      always supported by sound science, and licensing requirements for
      importation and distribution of goods remain common. Finally, the
      Government of the People's Republic of China has failed to
      cooperate with the United States Customs Service in implementing
      a 1992 memorandum of understanding prohibiting trade in products
      made by prison labor.
        (11) The human rights record of the People's Republic of China
      is a matter of very serious concern to the Congress. The Congress
      notes that the Department of State's 1999 Country Reports on
      Human Rights Practices for the People's Republic of China finds
      that "[t]he Government's poor human rights record deteriorated
      markedly throughout the year, as the Government intensified
      efforts to suppress dissent, particularly organized dissent.".
        (12) The Congress deplores violations by the Government of the
      People's Republic of China of human rights, religious freedoms,
      and worker rights that are referred to in the Department of
      State's 1999 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for the
      People's Republic of China, including the banning of the Falun
      Gong spiritual movement, denial in many cases, particularly
      politically sensitive ones, of effective representation by
      counsel and public trials, extrajudicial killings and torture,
      forced abortion and sterilization, restriction of access to Tibet
      and Xinjiang, perpetuation of "reeducation through labor", denial
      of the right of workers to organize labor unions or bargain
      collectively with their employers, and failure to implement a
      1992 memorandum of understanding prohibiting trade in products
      made by prison labor.

      "SEC. 202. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.
      "(a) Findings and Declarations. - Congress makes the following
    findings and declarations:
        "(1) The continued economic prosperity of Macau furthers United
      States interests in the People's Republic of China and Asia.
        "(2) Support for democratization is a fundamental principle of
      United States foreign policy, and as such, that principle
      naturally applies to United States policy toward Macau.
        "(3) The human rights of the people of Macau are of great
      importance to the United States and are directly relevant to
      United States interests in Macau.
        "(4) A fully successful transition in the exercise of
      sovereignty over Macau must continue to safeguard human rights in
      and of themselves.
        "(5) Human rights also serve as a basis for Macau's continued
      economic prosperity, and Congress takes note of Macau's adherence
      to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and
      the International Convention on Economic, Social, and Cultural
      Rights.
      "(b) Sense of Congress. - It is the sense of Congress that - 
        "(1) the United States should play an active role in
      maintaining Macau's confidence and prosperity, Macau's unique
      cultural heritage, and the mutually beneficial ties between the
      people of the United States and the people of Macau;
        "(2) through its policies, the United States should contribute
      to Macau's ability to maintain a high degree of autonomy in
      matters other than defense and foreign affairs as promised by the
      People's Republic of China and the Republic of Portugal in the
      Joint Declaration, particularly with respect to such matters as
      trade, commerce, law enforcement, finance, monetary policy,
      aviation, shipping, communications, tourism, cultural affairs,
      sports, and participation in international organizations,
      consistent with the national security and other interests of the
      United States; and
        "(3) the United States should actively seek to establish and
      expand direct bilateral ties and agreements with Macau in
      economic, trade, financial, monetary, mutual legal assistance,
      law enforcement, communication, transportation, and other
      appropriate areas.

      "(a) Continued Application. - 
        "(1) In general. - Notwithstanding any change in the exercise
      of sovereignty over Macau, and subject to subsections (b) and
      (c), the laws of the United States shall continue to apply with
      respect to Macau in the same manner as the laws of the United
      States were applied with respect to Macau before December 20,
      1999, unless otherwise expressly provided by law or by Executive
      order issued pursuant to paragraph (2).
        "(2) Exception. - Whenever the President determines that Macau
      is not sufficiently autonomous to justify treatment under a
      particular law of the United States, or any provision thereof,
      different from that accorded the People's Republic of China, the
      President may issue an Executive order suspending the application
      of paragraph (1) to such law or provision of law. The President
      shall promptly notify the Committee on International Relations of
      the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign
      Relations of the Senate concerning any such determination and
      shall publish the Executive order in the Federal Register.
      "(b) Export Controls. - 
        "(1) In general. - The export control laws, regulations, and
      practices of the United States shall apply to Macau in the same
      manner and to the same extent that such laws, regulations, and
      practices apply to the People's Republic of China, and in no case
      shall such laws, regulations, and practices be applied less
      restrictively to exports to Macau than to exports to the People's
      Republic of China.
        "(2) Rule of construction. - Paragraph (1) shall not be
      construed as prohibiting the provision of export control
      assistance to Macau.
      "(c) International Agreements. - 
        "(1) In general. - Subject to subsection (b) and paragraph (2),
      for all purposes, including actions in any court of the United
      States, Congress approves of the continuation in force after
      December 20, 1999, of all treaties and other international
      agreements, including multilateral conventions, entered into
      before such date between the United States and Macau, or entered
      into force before such date between the United States and the
      Republic of Portugal and applied to Macau, unless or until
      terminated in accordance with law.
        "(2) Exception. - If, in carrying out this subsection, the
      President determines that Macau is not legally competent to carry
      out its obligations under any such treaty or other international
      agreement, or that the continuation of Macau's obligations or
      rights under any such treaty or other international agreement is
      not appropriate under the circumstances, the President shall take
      appropriate action to modify or terminate such treaty or other
      international agreement. The President shall promptly notify the
      Committee on International Relations of the House of
      Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the

-HEAD-
    Sec. 6941. Findings

-STATUTE-
      The Congress finds as follows:
        (1) The opening of world markets through the elimination of
      tariff and nontariff barriers has contributed to a 56-percent
      increase in exports of United States goods and services since
      1992.
        (2) Such export expansion, along with an increase in trade
      generally, has helped fuel the longest economic expansion in
      United States history.
        (3) The United States Government must continue to be vigilant
      in monitoring and enforcing the compliance by our trading
      partners with trade agreements in order for United States
      businesses, workers, and farmers to continue to benefit from the
      opportunities created by market-opening trade agreements.
        (4) The People's Republic of China, as part of its accession to
      the World Trade Organization, has committed to eliminating
      significant trade barriers in the agricultural, services, and
      manufacturing sectors that, if realized, would provide
      considerable opportunities for United States farmers, businesses,
      and workers.
        (5) For these opportunities to be fully realized, the United
      States Government must effectively monitor and enforce its rights
      under the agreements on the accession of the People's Republic of
      China to the WTO.

-STATUTE-
      The Task Force shall monitor and promote effective enforcement of
    and compliance with section 1307 of title 19 by performing the
    following functions:
        (1) Coordinate closely with the United States Customs Service
      to promote maximum effectiveness in the enforcement by the
      Customs Service of section 1307 of title 19 with respect to the
      products of the People's Republic of China. In order to assure
      such coordination, the Customs Service shall keep the Task Force
      informed, on a regular basis, of the progress of its
      investigations of allegations that goods are being entered into
      the United States, or that such entry is being attempted, in
      violation of the prohibition in section 1307 of title 19 on entry
      into the United States of goods mined, produced, or manufactured
      wholly or in part in the People's Republic of China by convict
      labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions.
      Such investigations may include visits to foreign sites where
      goods allegedly are being mined, produced, or manufactured in a
      manner that would lead to prohibition of their importation into
      the United States under section 1307 of title 19.
        (2) Make recommendations to the Customs Service on seeking new
      agreements with the People's Republic of China to allow Customs
      Service officials to visit sites where goods may be mined,
      produced, or manufactured by convict labor, forced labor, or
      indentured labor under penal sanctions.
        (3) Work with the Customs Service to assist the People's
      Republic of China and other foreign governments in monitoring the
      sale of goods mined, produced, or manufactured by convict labor,
      forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions to ensure
      that such goods are not exported to the United States.
        (4) Coordinate closely with the Customs Service to promote
      maximum effectiveness in the enforcement by the Customs Service
      of section 1307 of title 19 with respect to the products of the
      People's Republic of China. In order to assure such coordination,
      the Customs Service shall keep the Task Force informed, on a
      regular basis, of the progress of its monitoring of ports of the
      United States to ensure that goods mined, produced, or
      manufactured wholly or in part in the People's Republic of China
      by convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal
      sanctions are not imported into the United States.
        (5) Advise the Customs Service in performing such other
      functions, consistent with existing authority, to ensure the
      effective enforcement of section 1307 of title 19.
        (6) Provide to the Customs Service all information obtained by
      the departments represented on the Task Force relating to the use
      of convict labor, forced labor, or/and indentured labor under
      penal sanctions in the mining, production, or manufacture of
      goods which may be imported into the United States.

      States trade and investment relationship with China, including

      shall review China's record of compliance to date with its
      accession agreement to the WTO, and explore what incentives and
