and political institutions that provide humane and
effective governance.
(14) American nongovernmental and business
organizations, in their various forms of engagement
in China, have contributed in that country to the ini-
tial emergence of civil society, the strengthening of
the legal system, and the expansion of economic au-
tonomy.
SEC. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF
UNITED STATES POLICY.
Congress affirms the President’s policy and makes
the following recommendations for the conduct of United
States policy toward China:
(1) The United States should continue a steady
and comprehensive policy of pressing for increased
Chinese adherence to international norms, especially
those concerning internationally recognized human
rights.
(2) Of particular concern to the United States
are the following:
(A) The accounting and release of political
prisoners.
(B) Access to Chinese prisoners by inter-
national humanitarian organizations.
(C) Negotiations between the Chinese Gov-
ernment and the Dalai Lama on Tibetan issues.
(3) The official dialogue with the Chinese Gov-
ernment on human rights issues should continue and
be intensified.
(4) As he considers appropriate, the President
should use other available modes of official inter-
action with China to pursue initiatives that are rel-
evant to promoting increased respect for human
rights in China.
(5) The United States should expand broadcast-
ing to China, through the Voice of America and
Radio Free Asia.
(6) The United States should work through
available multilateral fora, such as the United Na-
tions Human Rights Commission, to express con-
cerns about human rights in China and to encourage
Chinese adherence to, and compliance with, inter-
national human rights instruments. At all appro-
priate times, the United States should work toward
and support joint actions to address significant
problems. In particular, the United States should
seek to secure the participation of other govern-
ments in overtures to secure the accounting and re-
lease of political prisoners, to encourage access to
Chinese prisoners by international humanitarian or-
ganizations and negotiations between the Chinese
Government and the Dalai Lama.
(7) Where possible, the United States should
take further steps to foster in China the rule of law,
the creation of a civic society, and the emergence of
institutions that provide humane and effective gov-
ernance.
(8) To better carry out the recommendation in
paragraph (7), the Secretary of State should encour-
age United States posts in China to increase report-
ing on the human rights situation, the rule of law,
civil society, and other political developments in
China, and to increase appropriate contacts with do-
mestic nongovernmental organizations.
(9) United States non-governmental organiza-
tions should continue and expand activities that en-
courage the rule of law, the emergence of a civic so-
ciety, and the creation of institutions that provide
humane and effective governance.
(10) When considering the termination of the
suspensions of United States Government activities
enacted in section 902(a) of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, the
President should explore whether such terminations
could be used to elicit specific steps by the Chinese
government to enhance respect for internationally
recognized human rights or correct abuses of such
rights.
