Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that the United States Government should— (1) prioritize the development of a vision and strategy for engaging with PRC citizens through the development and delivery of Mandarin Chinese-language content that is timely, compelling, and pertinent to— (A) the issues and challenges they face in their daily lives; (B) the domestic and foreign policy decisions of the PRC government; and (C) the governance failures and corruption of the CCP, including unexplained wealth held by CCP and PLA officials and their families; (2) increase the level of coordination among Federal agencies to develop and disseminate timely, compelling, and pertinent Mandarin Chinese-language content that is otherwise blocked by the PRC government’s highly censored and restrictive internet ecosystem; (3) dually prioritize— (A) access to independent information through circumvention and other tools for PRC citizens; and (B) the secure sharing of such content in the PRC’s highly censored internet ecosystem; (4) optimize the impact of circumvention and secure content sharing tools by more effectively pairing such tools with timely, compelling, and pertinent Mandarin Chinese-language content; and (5) seek to counter the lack of reciprocity with the PRC in the online information and public diplomacy space.
