SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Sanctioning Tyrannical 
and Oppressive People within the Chinese Communist 
Party Act’’ or the ‘‘STOP CCP Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Hong Kong National Security Law pro-
mulgated on July 1, 2020— 
(A) contravenes the Basic Law of the 
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that 
provides in Article 23 that the Legislative 
Council of Hong Kong shall enact legislation re-
lated to national security; 
(B) violates the People’s Republic of Chi-
na’s commitments under international law, as 
defined by the Joint Declaration; and 
(C) causes severe and irreparable damage 
to the ‘‘one country, two systems’’ principle and 
further erodes global confidence in the People’s 
Republic of China’s commitment to inter-
national law. 
(2) Repression of ethnic Muslim minorities in 
the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the 
People’s Republic of China has been ongoing, and 
was formalized with the ‘‘Strike Hard Campaign 
against Violent Terrorism’’ that began in 2014.
(3) The mass internment of Uyghur and other 
Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
Autonomous Region has been ongoing since April 
2017. 
(4) The People’s Republic of China has con-
ducted a targeted and systemic population-control 
campaign against ethnic and religious minorities in 
the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region by impos-
ing and implementing coercive population-control 
practices, 
including 
selectively 
enforcing 
birth 
quotas, targeting minority women who are in non-
compliance with birth quotas, and subjecting women 
to coercive measures such as forced birth control, 
forced sterilization, and forced abortion. 
(5) On October 6, 2020, 39 countries delivered 
a cross-regional joint statement to the United States 
Mission to the United Nations on the human rights 
abuses on Uyghurs and other minorities for forced 
birth control including sterilization. 
(6) On January 19, 2021, the Department of 
State determined that the People’s Republic of 
China committed crimes against humanity and geno-
cide against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious 
minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autono-
mous Region, citing forced sterilizations, forced
abortions, coerced marriages, and separation of 
Uyghur children from their families. 
(7) The Department of State’s 2020 Country 
Reports on Human Rights Practices affirmed the 
genocide determination and noted coercive popu-
lation control measures inflicted on ethnic and reli-
gious minority women in China, including forced in-
jections with ‘‘drugs that cause temporary or perma-
nent end to their menstrual cycles and fertility’’. 
(8) The United States ratified the United Na-
tions Convention on the Prevention and Punishment 
of Genocide in 1988, recognizing that ‘‘imposing 
measures intended to prevent births within the 
group’’ with intent to destroy a group in whole or 
part is an act that constitutes genocide. 
(9) Taiwan is a free and prosperous democracy 
of nearly 24,000,000 people and an important con-
tributor to peace and stability around the world. 
(10) Section 2(b) of the Taiwan Relations Act 
(Public Law 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301(b)) states that it 
is the policy of the United States— 
(A) ‘‘to preserve and promote extensive, 
close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and 
other relations between the people of the United 
States and the people on Taiwan, as well as the
people on the China mainland and all other peo-
ples of the Western Pacific area’’; 
(B) ‘‘to declare that peace and stability in 
the area are in the political, security, and eco-
nomic interests of the United States, and are 
matters of international concern’’; 
(C) ‘‘to make clear that the United States 
decision to establish diplomatic relations with 
the People’s Republic of China rests upon the 
expectation that the future of Taiwan will be 
determined by peaceful means’’; 
(D) ‘‘to consider any effort to determine 
the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful 
means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a 
threat to the peace and security of the Western 
Pacific area and of grave concern to the United 
States’’; 
(E) ‘‘to provide Taiwan with arms of a de-
fensive character’’; and 
(F) ‘‘to maintain the capacity of the 
United States to resist any resort to force or 
other forms of coercion that would jeopardize 
the security, or the social or economic system, 
of the people on Taiwan’’.
(11) Since the election of President Tsai Ing- 
wen as President of Taiwan in 2016, the Govern-
ment of the People’s Republic of China has intensi-
fied its efforts to pressure Taiwan through diplo-
matic isolation and military provocations. 
(12) The rapid modernization of the People’s 
Liberation Army and recent military maneuvers in 
and around the Taiwan Strait illustrate a clear 
threat to Taiwan’s security. 
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that members of the Chi-
nese Communist Party, led by General Secretary Xi 
Jinping, are responsible for violations of Hong Kong’s au-
tonomy, increased aggression against the people of Tai-
wan, numerous human rights violations against the people 
of Hong Kong and the people of Taiwan, and acts of re-
pression and genocide against Uyghur Muslims in the 
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
