U.S. to boost support for Uyghurs in China.
This bill would direct the U.S. State Department to prioritize policies and programs that support Uyghurs and other minority groups in China's Xinjiang region. It would set aside money for human rights advocates and push for international action to protect their distinct identity and human rights. Key State Department coordination efforts would last for five years.
Currently, the U.S. government condemns human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other minorities in China. If this bill is signed into law, the U.S. would formalize and expand specific actions, including dedicated funding for advocates, a strategy to pressure China to close detention camps, and a new system for reporting transnational repression. Key State Department coordination efforts would be in place for five years.
