The details
Nothing about your daily life changes here. The Senate agreed to this resolution on June 16, 2026. A Senate resolution is a statement of that chamber's views. It does not become law. It does not go to the House or to the President. It spends no money and orders no agency to act. The resolution condemns Xi Jinping, who leads the Chinese Communist Party, and calls him a dictator. It accuses him and the party of lying about where the COVID-19 virus came from. It also accuses them of breaking trade promises and of spying inside the United States. It says the party threatens Taiwan and harasses ships from the Philippines. It further states that the party is carrying out a genocide against Uyghur and other Muslim people. Those are the Senate's charges. The Senate also says it stands with the people of China. It urges the government to use sanctions it already has against party officials. It points to the Global Magnitsky Act, a sanctions law aimed at human rights abuses abroad.
