1 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

2 Congress finds the following: 

3 (1) In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Re4 gion of the People’s Republic of China, the Govern5 ment of the People’s Republic of China has, since 

6 April 2017, arbitrarily detained more than 

7 1,000,000 Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members 

8 of other persecuted groups in a system of 

9 extrajudicial mass internment camps, and has sub10 jected detainees to forced labor, torture, political in11 doctrination, and other severe human rights abuses. 

12 (2) Forced labor, a severe form of human traf13 ficking, exists within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autono14 mous Region’s system of mass internment camps, 

15 and throughout the region, and is confirmed by the 

16 testimony of former camp detainees, satellite im17 agery, and official leaked documents from the Gov18 ernment of the People’s Republic of China as part 

19 of a targeted campaign of repression of Muslim eth20 nic minorities. 

21 (3) In addition to reports from researchers and 

22 civil society groups documenting evidence that many 

23 factories and other suppliers in the Xinjiang Uyghur 

24 Autonomous Region are exploiting forced labor, on 

25 July 22, 2020, the Bureau of Industry and Security 

26 of the Department of Commerce added 11 entities to

•S 65 IS

1 the Entity List set forth in Supplement No. 4 to 

2 part 744 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, 

3 after determining the entities had been ‘‘implicated 

4 in human rights violations and abuses in the imple5 mentation of China’s campaign of repression, mass 

6 arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology 

7 surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and mem8 bers of other persecuted groups in the Xinjiang 

9 Uyghur Autonomous Region’’. 

10 (4) The Government of the People’s Republic of 

11 China interferes with audits and traditional due dili12 gence efforts to vet goods and supply chains in the 

13 Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to hinder 

14 identifying goods made in whole or part with forced 

15 labor, including by intimidating potential witnesses 

16 and concealing relevant information. 

17 (5) Reports cited by the Department of Labor 

18 estimate that hundreds of thousands of ex-detainees 

19 who are Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of 

20 other persecuted groups in the People’s Republic of 

21 China may be working in conditions of forced labor 

22 following detention in re-education camps. Moreover, 

23 nongovernmental organizations estimate that more 

24 than 80,000 Uyghurs were transferred out of the 

25 Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to work in

•S 65 IS

1 factories across the People’s Republic of China be2 tween 2017 and 2019, and some of them were sent 

3 directly from detention camps. 

4 (6) The Department of State’s June 2020 Traf5 ficking in Persons Report found, ‘‘Authorities offer 

6 subsidies incentivizing Chinese companies to open 

7 factories in close proximity to the internment camps 

8 and to receive transferred detainees at satellite man9 ufacturing sites in other provinces. Local govern10 ments receive additional funds for each inmate 

11 forced to work in these sites at a fraction of min12 imum wage or without any compensation. The gov13 ernment has transported tens of thousands of these 

14 individuals to other areas within Xinjiang and to 

15 other provinces for forced labor under the guise of 

16 poverty alleviation and industrial aid programs.’’. 

17 (7) U.S. Customs and Border Protection has 

18 issued 11 withhold release orders on goods suspected 

19 to be produced with prison or forced labor in the 

20 Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Goods subject 

21 to the withhold release orders include all cotton, cot22 ton products, tomatoes, and tomato products, as well 

23 as certain garments, hair products, apparel, com24 puter parts, and other goods.

1 (8) In its 2019 annual report, the Congres2 sional-Executive Commission on China found that 

3 goods reportedly produced with forced labor by cur4 rent and former mass internment camp detainees in5 cluded textiles, electronics, food products, shoes, tea, 

6 and handicrafts. 

7 (9) Under section 1091(a) of title 18, United 

8 States Code, a person commits genocide if the per9 son ‘‘whether in time of peace or in time of war and 

10 with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in 

11 substantial part, a national, ethnic, racial, or reli12 gious group as such— 

13 ‘‘(1) kills members of that group; 

14 ‘‘(2) causes serious bodily injury to mem15 bers of that group; 

16 ‘‘(3) causes the permanent impairment of 

17 the mental faculties of members of the group 

18 through drugs, torture, or similar techniques; 

19 ‘‘(4) subjects the group to conditions of life 

20 that are intended to cause the physical destruc21 tion of the group in whole or in part; 

22 ‘‘(5) imposes measures intended to prevent 

23 births within the group; or 

24 ‘‘(6) transfers by force children of the 

25 group to another group.’’.

1 (10) As a direct result of the campaign of tar2 geted and coercive population control of the Govern3 ment of the People’s Republic of China’s against 

4 Uyghurs, the birthrate of the Uyghur population in 

5 the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region plum6 meted by 24 percent from 2017 to 2018, with birth7 rates in the Uyghur majority regions of Hotan and 

8 Kashgar decreasing by more than 60 percent from 

9 2015 to 2018. 

10 (11) The policies of the Government of the Peo11 ple’s Republic of China are in contravention of its 

12 human rights commitments and obligations, includ13 ing under— 

14 (A) the Universal Declaration of Human 

15 Rights; 

16 (B) the International Covenant on Civil 

17 and Political Rights, which the People’s Repub18 lic of China has signed but not yet ratified; and 

19 (C) the United Nations Protocol to Pre20 vent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Per21 sons Especially Women and Children (com22 monly known as the ‘‘Palermo Protocol’’), to 

23 which the People’s Republic of China has been 

24 a state party since February 2010.
