It is the policy of the United States— to make increasing access to independent information for and engagement with the roughly 1,400,000,000 PRC citizens a national security priority of the United States that benefits broader United States priorities to promote human rights, the rule of law, and good governance in the PRC and globally; to prioritize the expansion and improvement of the development and dissemination of independent information to PRC citizens inside and outside the People’s Republic of China, including by more effectively pairing independent information with the circumvention and other tools needed to access such content; to prioritize and coordinate Mandarin Chinese-language content development and content dissemination, and develop technical solutions to address the PRC’s digital information controls; and to work with like-minded partners and allies— to develop coordinated and complementary strategies for increasing access to independent information for PRC citizens; and to address the lack of reciprocity in the information and media environments between the PRC and the United States and its partners and allies.
