The United States Government— expresses grave concerns with Chinese actions that seek— to further constrain space for civil society and religion within China; and to undermine a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region; encourages China to play a constructive role in world affairs by demonstrating consistent respect for the rule of law and international norms; seeks to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship with China— by expanding areas of cooperation; and by addressing areas of disagreement, including over human rights, economic policies, and maritime security; and is committed to working with China on shared regional and global challenges, especially— upholding and strengthening the rules-based international system; and the denuclearization of North Korea.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States should— welcome a decision by China to change course and pursue a responsible results-oriented relationship with the United States and engagement on global issues; encourage China to play a constructive role in the Indo-Pacific region and globally; and continue to call out Chinese actions that undermine the rules-based international system.
