It is the sense of Congress that the United States and ASEAN should be united against attempts by the Government of China at the United Nations and other multilateral organizations to promote efforts that erode the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, such as the community of a shared future for mankind and the democratization of international relations . The Secretary of State shall establish a United States-ASEAN democracy and human rights working group on the People’s Republic of China.
The working group shall, among other tasks, coordinate on asset freezes, travel bans, and other sanctions targeting officials of the Government of China engaged in gross violations of human rights. The National Endowment for Democracy shall establish a working group focused on addressing efforts by the Government of China to promote alternative forms of government in Southeast Asia.
