A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the President should prioritize securing the release of Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai detained by the People's Republic of China during future engagements with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Senate urges the President to prioritize securing the humanitarian release of several individuals, including Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai, during future engagements with Chinese President Xi Jinping. These individuals are currently detained by the People's Republic of China on charges widely condemned by the international community as politically motivated or related to peaceful expression of speech and religion. The resolution specifically calls for this issue to be on the agenda for upcoming summits, such as the anticipated May 2026 meeting. Furthermore, the Senate requests the President to seek verifiable proof of life and ensure these detainees receive access to independent legal counsel, communication with their families, and necessary medical care. This resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to defending political and religious freedom globally and advocating for the release of those wrongfully detained for exercising fundamental freedoms, reflecting a longstanding bipartisan approach to human rights in diplomacy.
