(B) coercing over half a million Tibetans 
to work in forced labor camps in the first seven 
months of 2020, and forcibly sending thousands 
of Tibetans to areas within the People’s Repub-
lic of China (PRC); and 
(C) imprisoning up to 2,000,000 Uyghurs 
and ethnic Kazaks and Uzbeks in ‘‘re-edu-
cation’’ camps since April 2017, as well as 
condoning and facilitating the practice of forced 
abortion, sterilization, and other forms of sex-
ual abuse on women imprisoned in these camps. 
(3) On January 19, 2021, then-Secretary of 
State Michael R. Pompeo determined that the CCP 
has committed genocide against the predominantly 
Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious mi-
nority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
Region. 
(4) Since late 2016, when the CCP escalated its 
‘‘Strike Hard Campaign Against Violent Terrorism’’, 
Xinjiang province’s criminal justice system has con-
victed and sentenced more than 250,000 people to 
imprisonment, often without the defendant having 
committed a ‘‘genuine’’ offense. 
(5) The blatant disregard that the CCP has for

sibility for the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang and 
human rights abuses throughout China must lie with 
the head of state of the People’s Republic of China. 
(6) The title of ‘‘President’’ has often been uti-
lized to describe the office of the head of state of the 
People’s Republic of China, in both the United 
States Government and private publications. 
(7) Addressing the head of state of the People’s 
Republic of China as a ‘‘President’’ grants the incor-
rect assumption that the people of the state, via 
democratic means, have readily legitimized the lead-
er who rules them. 
(8) The head of state of the People’s Republic 
of China derives all power and authority from the 
CCP and is accountable only to them. 
(9) The bipartisan U.S.-China Economic and 
Security Review Commission stated the following in 
the Executive Summary of their 2019 report to Con-
gress: ‘‘If there were glimmers of political opening in 
China, they have been firmly extinguished. It is for 
this reason that this year the Commission made the 
decision to start referring to Xi Jinping using the

vote, assemble, or speak freely. Giving General Sec-
retary Xi the unearned title of ‘President’ lends a

authoritarian rule.’’. 
SEC. 3. UNITED STATES POLICY. 
It is the policy of the United States to— 
(1) condemn in the strongest possible terms the 
horrific human rights abuses being perpetuated and 
enabled by the leadership of the CCP; 
(2) urge all countries to do the same; 
(3) recognize the deep friendship between the 
United States and the citizens of the People’s Re-
public of China, the first victims of their govern-
ment’s cruelty; and 
(4) honor the memory of all those who have 
died as a result of the callous rule of the CCP.
