SEC. 9. DISCLOSURES TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 
COMMISSION OF CERTAIN ACTIVITIES RE-
LATED TO THE XINJIANG UYGHUR AUTONO-
MOUS REGION. 
(a) POLICY STATEMENT.—It is the policy of the 
United States to protect American investors, though 
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 intern-
ment and population surveillance of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, 
Kyrgyz, and other Muslim minorities and source products 
made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autono-
mous Region in China. Such involvements represent clear, 
material risks to the share values and corporate reputa-
tions of certain of these companies and hence to prospec-
tive American investors, particularly given that the United 
States Government has employed sanctions and export re-
strictions to target individuals and entities contributing to 
human rights abuses in China. 
(b) DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN ACTIVITIES RELATING 
TO THE XINJIANG UYGHUR AUTONOMOUS REGION.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Section 13 of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m) is amended
