This resolution condemns the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) for engaging in a systematic campaign of transnational repression . This campaign involves actions that cross national borders to intimidate, silence, coerce, or harm individuals, including members of diaspora and exile communities, to suppress dissent and control political expression. The PRC's efforts target political dissidents, human rights defenders, and ethnic and religious communities like Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Hongkongers, often through covert operations or by harassing family members still residing in China. The Senate affirms that all individuals residing in the United States have the right to live free from foreign government intimidation, coercion, and surveillance. It declares that the PRC's acts of transnational repression in the U.S. violate the nation's sovereignty and democratic values. The resolution supports efforts by the United States Government to investigate, disrupt, and hold accountable those who carry out or enable these repressive activities.
