A resolution condemning the People's Republic of China's Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, concerned with its implications on the rights and freedoms, as well as survival of the identity, of Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and other affected communities, and calling on the Government of the People's Republic of China to end its abuses and campaigns of transnational repression that undermine United States sovereignty and threaten the safety and freedoms of people in the United States.

The Senate would condemn a Chinese law aimed at Tibetans and Uyghurs — a statement only, with no force behind it.

The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. The Senate would put an opinion on the record, and nothing more. The resolution condemns a Chinese law that took effect on July 1, 2026. Senators say the law forces schools, families, and religious groups to follow Communist Party ideology. It names Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, Christians, and other groups as the targets. Senators also say the law claims power over people outside China, including U.S. citizens. The resolution asks China to repeal the law. It asks the President to weigh targeted sanctions under an existing human rights law. It asks the State Department to track the law's effects with allies. None of those requests carry legal force. The Senate has not voted on it, and the measure sits in committee.
