(a) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this section to
create principles governing the conduct of industrial co-
operation projects of United States nationals in the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China.
(b) STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES.—It is the sense of
the Congress that any United States national conducting
an industrial cooperation project in the People’s Republic
of China should:
(1) Suspend the use of any goods, wares, arti-
cles, or merchandise that the United States national
has reason to believe were mined, produced, or man-
ufactured, in whole or in part, by convict labor or
forced labor, and refuse to use forced labor in the
industrial cooperation project.
(2) Seek to ensure that political or religious
views, sex, ethnic or national background, involve-
ment in political activities or nonviolent demonstra-
tions, or association with suspected or known dis-
sidents will not prohibit hiring, lead to harassment,
demotion, or dismissal, or in any way affect the sta-
tus or terms of employment in the industrial co-
operation project. The United States national should
not discriminate in terms or conditions of employ-
ment in the industrial cooperation project against
persons with past records of arrest or internal exile
for nonviolent protest or membership in unofficial
organizations committed to nonviolence.
(3) Ensure that methods of production used in
the industrial cooperation project do not pose an un-
necessary physical danger to workers and neighbor-
ing populations or property, and that the industrial
cooperation project does not unnecessarily risk harm
to the surrounding environment; and consult with
community leaders regarding environmental protec-
tion with respect to the industrial cooperation
project.
(4) Strive to establish a private business enter-
prise when involved in an industrial cooperation
project with the Government of the People’s Repub-
lic of China or other state entity.
(5) Discourage any Chinese military presence
on the premises of any industrial cooperation
projects which involve dual-use technologies.
(6) Undertake to promote freedom of associa-
tion and assembly among the employees of the
United States national. The United States national
should protest any infringement by the Government
of the People’s Republic of China of these freedoms
to the International Labor Organization’s office in
Beijing.
(7) Provide the Department of State with infor-
mation relevant to the Department’s efforts to col-
lect information on prisoners for the purposes of the
Prisoner Information Registry, and for other report-
ing purposes.
(8) Discourage or undertake to prevent compul-
sory political indoctrination programs from taking
place on the premises of the industrial cooperation
project.
(9) Promote freedom of expression, including
the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information
and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either
orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or
through any media. To this end, the United States
national should raise with appropriate authorities of
the Government of the People’s Republic of China
concerns about restrictions on the free flow of infor-
mation.
(10) Undertake to prevent harassment of work-
ers who, consistent with the United Nations World
Population Plan of Action, decide freely and respon-
sibly the number and spacing of their children; and
prohibit compulsory population control activities on
the premises of the industrial cooperation project.
(c) PROMOTION
