China maintains very firm control over its population. Human rights advocates claim the abuses of this communist nation are many. And lately these abuses have been targeted at its Uyghur population - a Muslim minority group of about 11 million people which live mostly in the Xinjiang province in northwestern China. Activists say that over the years, China has progressively curtailed the Uyghurs' religious, commercial and cultural activities. It encourages members of the majority Han Chinese to move to the region and has demolished more than 100 Uyghur cemeteries. It is believed that China has detained up to 3 million Uyghurs over the past few years in state re-education camps. China is also accused of conducting a program of forced sterilization against Uyghur women. Former prisoners and staff of China
- I oppose reforming current China human rights policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of leader Charles Schumer (NY).
- I support imposing various restrictions related to China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region, including prohibiting certain imports from Xinjiang and imposing sanctions on those responsible for human rights violations there by:
1.) Prohibiting forced-labor goods manufactured or produced in Xinjiang to enter the United States.
2.) Requiring corporations to report instances of knowingly helping to create mass surveillance systems in Xinjiang, running or building detention facilities for Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang, or conducting a transaction with any person sanctioned for the detention or abuse of Uyghurs.
3.) Allowing the President, after being notified of such a disclosure, to determine whether to investigate whether sanctions or criminal charges are warranted.
4.) Expanding existing asset- and visa-blocking sanctions related to Xinjiang to cover foreign individuals and entities responsible for serious human rights abuses in connection with forced labor.
5.) Requiring the State Department to report to Congress (a.) an assessment of whether human rights abuses committed by China's government against persecuted groups in Xinjiang constitute genocide under U.S. law, and (b.) a strategy to enhance international awareness of forced labor in Xinjiang and to address such forced labor.
And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
