Remembering the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and condemning the continued and intensifying crackdown on human rights and basic freedoms within the People's Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, by the Chinese Communist Party, and for other purposes.
HRES 470 is a non-binding House resolution commemorating the events of June 4, 1989, in Beijing and condemning the Chinese government's ongoing human rights practices. It expresses support for victims' families, calls for an independent UN investigation into the 1989 events, and urges China to cease censorship, uphold Hong Kong's autonomy under the Joint Declaration, and allow peaceful remembrance of the anniversary. The resolution has no legal force but serves as a symbolic expression of congressional concern regarding human rights in China and Hong Kong.
