Sense of Congress

Read this section in the full bill →

This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.

It is the sense of Congress that the People’s Republic of China unjustly detains more American citizens, and the family members of American citizens, than any other country, employing exit bans and detentions as a tool to punish, censor, or gain economic or legal advantage. The People’s Republic of China should be designated as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention under Executive Order 14156 and diplomatic and accountability tools detailed in the Executive Order should be used to gain the release of cases of concern and end the unjust detentions and hostage taking of American citizens.
