A resolution condemning the Government of the People's Republic of China for engaging in transnational repression.
Senate Resolution 226 condemns the Chinese government's actions targeting Chinese diaspora communities in the U.S., including dissidents, human rights defenders, and minority groups like Uyghurs and Tibetans. It specifically addresses China's use of surveillance, threats, and harassment against individuals abroad, as well as pressure tactics against family members in China (such as property seizures, asset freezes, and passport cancellations). The resolution declares these actions violate U.S. sovereignty and democratic values, affirming that people in the U.S. should live free from foreign intimidation. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses congressional support for U.S. government efforts to investigate and address such activities.
