Congress finds the following: The People’s Republic of China censors political speech of throughout the country through many means including through mass censorship of the Internet, the Great Firewall, radical curtailment of the freedom of the press. The PRC employs several other means to stifle dissent including instigating private person to target dissenting individuals and private companies to target offending companies. It is the sense of Congress that— censorship of political speech in China is contrary to the human rights of the Chinese people; censorship of political speech, whether conducted by the government, or private or quasi-private entities is antithetical to United States values and interests; and the democratic way to conduct political disputes is through argument and persuasion, not force or political speech.
