US: House Select Committee on China releases first set of recommendations on Uyghur Genocide

The House select committee on China released its first set of policy recommendations on last Wednesday – intent on acting against the “ongoing genocide” in Xinjiang.

The recommendations – which included sanctions on Chinese tech companies – formed the core of two reports, both of which were approved Wednesday by the committee to send to the House.

The first – “The Chinese Communist Party’s Ongoing Uygur Genocide: Policy Recommendations” – was adopted unanimously by voice vote.

On Xinjiang, proposals include restricting US-based retirement and pension funds from investing in sanctioned Chinese companies; sanctioning tech companies used by Beijing “to commit genocide against Uyghurs”.
