(a) Diplomatic engagement In pursuing diplomatic engagement with the PRC, the Secretary of State should prioritize addressing the lack of reciprocity in access to the PRC internet and broader information space for United States Government, private sector, and nongovernmental stakeholders, particularly journalists, diplomats, researchers, academics, internet technology, and social media companies and nongovernmental organizations within the PRC. (b) Available tools The President, in consultation with the Secretary of State, should consider all tools available to address the lack of reciprocity in access to the PRC internet and broader information space for United States Government, private sector, and nongovernmental stakeholders.
