                                 AN ACT

 
   Ensuring that goods made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
 Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China do not enter the 
             United States market, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, the 
        Government of the People's Republic of China has, since 2017, 
        arbitrarily detained as many as 1.8 million Uyghurs, Kazakhs, 
        Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups in a system 
        of extrajudicial mass internment camps, in addition to 
        arbitrarily detaining many in formal prisons and detention 
        centers, and has subjected detainees to forced labor, torture, 
        political indoctrination, and other severe human rights abuses.
            (2) Forced labor exists within the Xinjiang Uyghur 
        Autonomous Region's system of mass internment camps, and 
        throughout the region, and is confirmed by the testimony of 
        former camp detainees, satellite imagery, official media 
        reports, publicly available documents, official statements, and 
        official leaked documents from the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China as part of a targeted campaign of repression 
        of Muslim ethnic minorities.
            (3) In addition to reports from researchers and civil 
        society groups documenting evidence that many factories and 
        other suppliers in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are 
        exploiting forced labor, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of 
        Industry and Security on July 22, 2020, added eleven entities 
        to the entity list after determining the entities had been 
        ``implicated in human rights violations and abuses in the 
        implementation of China's campaign of repression, mass 
        arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology 
        surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other members of 
        Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region''.
            (4) Audits and efforts to vet products and supply chains in 
        the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are unreliable due to the 
        extent forced labor has been integrated into the regional 
        economy, the mixing of involuntary labor with voluntary labor, 
        the inability of witnesses to speak freely about working 
        conditions given government surveillance and coercion, and the 
        incentive of government officials to conceal government-
        sponsored forced labor.
            (5) The Department of State's June 2020 Trafficking in 
        Persons Report found that ``Authorities offer subsidies 
        incentivizing Chinese companies to open factories in close 
        proximity to the internment camps, and to receive transferred 
        detainees at satellite manufacturing sites in other provinces. 
        Local governments receive additional funds for each inmate 
        forced to work in these sites at a fraction of minimum wage or 
        without any compensation.''.
            (6) U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued 11 
        ``Withhold Release Orders'' on products suspected to be 
        produced with prison or forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
        Autonomous Region. Products subject to the ``Withhold Release 
        Orders'' include all cotton, cotton products, tomatoes, and 
        tomato products as well as certain garments, hair products, 
        apparel, computer parts, and other products.
            (7) In its 2019 Annual Report, the Congressional-Executive 
        Commission on China (CECC) found that products reportedly 
        produced with forced labor by current and former mass 
        internment camp detainees included textiles, electronics, food 
        products, shoes, tea, and handicrafts.
            (8) Reports in 2020 indicated that, in recent years, 
        People's Republic of China Government authorities had organized 
        a labor training and transfer system on a mass scale. Under 
        this system, hundreds of thousands of rural residents of the 
        Tibet Autonomous Region participated in ``military-style'' 
        training, ideological education, and vocational training before 
        being transferred to job postings in the Tibetan Autonomous 
        Region or elsewhere in China. The similarity of the Tibet 
        Autonomous Region system to that in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
        Autonomous Region raised fears that coercive practices or 
        rights abuses may be taking place in the Tibet Autonomous 
        Region.
            (9) Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307) 
        states that it is illegal to import into the United States 
        ``goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or 
        manufactured wholly or in part'' by forced labor. Such 
        merchandise is subject to exclusion or seizure and may lead to 
        criminal investigation of the importer.
            (10) The policies of the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China are in contravention of international human 
        rights instruments signed by that government, including--
                    (A) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and 
                the International Covenant on Civil and Political 
                Rights, which the People's Republic of China has signed 
                but not yet ratified;
                    (B) the International Covenant on Economic, Social, 
                and Cultural Rights, ratified by the People's Republic 
                of China in 2001; and
                    (C) the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, 
                Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially 
                Women and Children (Palermo Protocol), to which the 
                People's Republic of China has been a state party since 
                February 2010.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to prohibit the import of all goods, wares, articles, 
        or merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured, wholly or in 
        part, by forced labor from the People's Republic of China and 
        particularly any such goods, wares, articles, or merchandise 
        produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China;
            (2) to encourage the international community to reduce the 
        import of any goods made with forced labor from the People's 
        Republic of China, particularly those goods mined, 
        manufactured, or produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region;
            (3) to coordinate with Mexico and Canada to effectively 
        implement Article 23.6 of the United States-Mexico-Canada 
        Agreement to prohibit the importation of goods produced in 
        whole or in part by forced or compulsory labor, which includes 
        goods produced in whole or in part by forced or compulsory 
        labor in the People's Republic of China;
            (4) to actively work to prevent, publicly denounce, and end 
        human trafficking as a horrific assault on human dignity and to 
        restore the lives of those affected by human trafficking, a 
        modern form of slavery;
            (5) to regard the prevention of atrocities as in its 
        national interest, including efforts to prevent torture, 
        enforced disappearances, severe deprivation of liberty, 
        including mass internment, arbitrary detention, and widespread 
        and systematic use of forced labor, and persecution targeting 
        any identifiable ethnic or religious group; and
            (6) to address gross violations of human rights in the 
        Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region through bilateral diplomatic 
        channels and multilateral institutions where both the United 
        States and the People's Republic of China are members and with 
        all the authorities available to the United States Government, 
        including visa and financial sanctions, export restrictions, 
        and import controls.

SEC. 9. DISCLOSURES TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OF 
              CERTAIN ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE XINJIANG UYGHUR 
              AUTONOMOUS REGION.

    (a) Policy Statement.--It is the policy of the United States to 
protect American investors, through stronger disclosure requirements, 
alerting them to the presence of Chinese and other companies complicit 
in gross violations of human rights in United States capital markets, 
including American and foreign companies listed on United States 
exchanges that enable the mass internment and population surveillance 
of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Muslim minorities and source 
products made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
Region of China. Such involvements represent clear, material risks to 
the share values and corporate reputations of certain of these 
companies and hence to prospective American investors, particularly 
given that the United States Government has employed sanctions and 
export restrictions to target individuals and entities contributing to 
human rights abuses in the People's Republic of China.

Uyghur Autonomous Region.--
