A resolution condemning the dictator of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, for deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity.
This is a non-binding Senate resolution introduced in the 119th Congress that formally condemns Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for alleged deceit, actions that undermine peace and security, and crimes against humanity. The resolution compiles a lengthy list of criticisms and alleged misdeeds by the PRC under Xi’s leadership—ranging from public health misinformation and drug-crisis impacts, to human rights abuses (including claims of genocide against Uyghurs), espionage, cyberattacks, and aggressive regional actions (notably toward Taiwan and in the South China Sea). It also states solidarity with the Chinese people and others affected by CCP policies and calls for using all applicable sanctions authorities, including those under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. As a Senate resolution, it expresses policy positions and aims to influence future congressional and executive branch action, but it does not itself modify law or impose new sanctions.
