It is the sense of Congress that— the President should condemn abuses against Turkic Muslims by Chinese authorities and call on such authorities immediately— to close the reeducation camps; to lift all restrictions on and ensure respect for human rights; and to allow those inside China to reestablish contact with their loved ones, friends, and associates outside China; the Secretary of State should— fully implement the provisions of the Frank R. Wolf International Religious Freedom Act ( Public Law 114–281 ); and should consider strategically employing sanctions and other tools under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 ( 22 U.S.C. 6401 et seq.), including measures required by reason of the designation of the People’s Republic of China as a country of particular concern for religious freedom under section 402(b)(1)(A)(ii) of such Act that directly address particularly severe violations of religious freedom; the Secretary of State should work with United States allies and partners as well as through multilateral institutions to condemn the mass arbitrary detention of Uighurs in China’s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and coordinate closely with the international community on targeted sanctions and visa restrictions; and the journalists of the Uighur language service of Radio Free Asia should be commended for their reporting on the human rights and political situation in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region despite efforts by the Government of the People’s Republic of China to silence or intimidate their reporting through the detention of family members and relatives in China, and the United States should expand the availability of and capacity for Uighur language programming on Radio Free Asia in the region.
