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.
Whereas Xi Jinping is the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, a criminal
organization posing a grave threat to global stability and peace;
Whereas, under the control of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the Chinese
Communist Party has engaged in systemic deception, warmongering, and
crimes against humanity, the likes of which have few historical
parallels;
Whereas, under the leadership of Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party
routinely lied about the origins of the SARs-CoV-2 virus, using
international organizations like the World Health Organization to peddle
falsehoods regarding the supposed limited transmissibility of the virus;
Whereas the number of individuals from the United States who have died from the
coronavirus exceeds 1,000,000, representing the many lives needlessly
lost as a result of the lies and deceit of the People's Republic of
China;
Whereas General Secretary Xi Jinping pledged to engage more fully in fentanyl
cooperation with the United States in 2019 and again in 2023, only to
see more than 70,000 individuals from the United States die from
fentanyl overdoses in recent years, with the 2025 National Drug Threat
Assessment stating that ``fentanyl and other synthetic drugs . . . are
the primary drivers of fatal drug overdose deaths nationwide'';
Whereas, from sewage garlic to broken magnetic chess pieces, the Chinese
Communist Party maintains an appalling record on consumer product
safety;
Whereas a 2015 study by the National Institutes of Health determined that human
waste is used as an agricultural fertilizer in the People's Republic of
China;
Whereas Xi Jinping has doubled down on Communist China's proud tradition of
cheating in trade and purposefully ignoring World Trade Organization
obligations;
Whereas the People's Republic of China was granted entry into the World Trade
Organization in December 2001, and pledged to transition to a more
market-oriented economy by reducing state control over trade and
investment, removing price controls, protecting intellectual property,
and making numerous other promises;
Whereas, as of the date of the introduction of this resolution, the Chinese
Communist Party continues to lie and fails to uphold many of their
obligations on which their admission to the World Trade Organization was
based;
Whereas, under the rule of Xi Jinping, Communist China has become the largest
official debt collector in the world, with 80 percent of the overseas
lending portfolio of the People's Republic of China going to countries
in financial distress;
Whereas the Belt and Road Initiative, developed by Xi Jinping, promises only the
loss of sovereignty and long-term economic and environmental
devastation;
Whereas the Sino Metals disaster, a story that the Government of the People's
Republic of China has worked to suppress in the international press, is
yet another example of predatory lending practices by the People's
Republic of China;
Whereas, on February 18, 2025, a tailings dam failure at a major Chinese-owned
copper mine in northern Zambia released more than 50,000,000 liters of
toxic waste into the Kafue River, Zambia's lifeline, devastating the
ecosystem, destroying crops, and threatening the health and livelihoods
of more than 60 percent of the Zambian population living within the
river basin, many of whom depend on the river for drinking water,
agriculture, and fishing;
Whereas the pH level, a quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of
aqueous or other liquid solutions, of the Kafue River was at least as
low as 1.8 following the spill, transforming the substance of the river
from water to something closer to stomach acid, which has a pH level of
1;
Whereas, in June 2025, Chinese nationals were charged in a criminal complaint
with conspiracy, smuggling a dangerous biological pathogen into the
United States, false statements, and visa fraud;
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party, under the rule of Xi Jinping, has
accelerated espionage efforts, including through the 2017 cyberattack of
the credit reporting agency Equifax, stealing the addresses, birth
dates, Social Security numbers, and other data of 145,000,000
individuals from the United States;
Whereas, from February 2021 to December 2024, more than 60 Chinese Communist
Party-related espionage cases have been documented across 20 States,
including the opening and operations of clandestine ``police stations''
on United States soil;
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party, led by Xi Jinping, has increasingly
compromised regional and international stability through its commitment
to taking Taiwan by force, violating territorial integrity and Air
Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) of Taiwan, supporting state sponsors
of terrorism, and aligning itself with the Russian Federation in the
unjustified assault by the Russian Federation against Ukraine;
Whereas, according to data from the Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan,
aircraft from the People's Liberation Army conducted more than 3,600
flights into the ADIZ in 2024, setting a new record;
Whereas, in spite of any claim to Taiwan, the Chinese Communist Party, which has
not ever ruled Taiwan, continues to cause enormous harm to the well-
being of neighboring countries and allies of the United States;
Whereas, under the rule of Xi Jinping, Communist China has engaged in a pattern
of harassment and intimidation against Philippine vessels in the West
Philippine Sea, endangering Filipino maritime personnel, threatening
freedom of navigation, and destabilizing regional peace and stability;
Whereas the People's Republic of China accounts for an estimated 90 percent or
more of the total trade of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,
and purchases up to 90 percent of the oil exports of the Islamic
Republic of Iran;
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party, under the rule of Xi Jinping, is pledging
the expansion of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Taliban-
controlled Afghanistan;
Whereas, under the rule of Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party is guilty of
orchestrating a horrific, modern-day genocide of the Uyghur people and
other Muslim populations in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, also
known as East Turkistan;
Whereas, under the rule of Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party holds upwards
of 1,000,000 Muslim Uyghurs in prison and labor camps, and forces female
spouses of Uyghur men in prison camps to share beds with Han Chinese
males assigned by the state;
Whereas the designation of genocide against the Uyghur people was made by
President Trump in 2021 and confirmed by the Biden Administration;
Whereas, during the tenure of Xi Jinping as General Secretary, Communist China
has harvested the organs of political dissidents, most notably Falun
Gong practitioners;
Whereas the Tiananmen Square Massacre of June 3 and June 4, 1989, even 36 years
later, continues to serve as a stark reminder of the sheer evil and
cowardice of the Chinese Communist Party and the inability of the
Chinese Communist Party to squash the aspirations of the Chinese people;
Whereas, in 2020, the Chinese Communist Party significantly expanded mass forced
labor in Tibet, and continues to engage in enforced disappearance,
torture, cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of Tibetans, denying
them of their unique cultural identity;
Whereas, in 2020, Communist China enacted a national security law, compromising
the basic freedoms of Hong Kongers and unjustly imprisoning political
prisoners of conscience, including Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai;
Whereas, under the rule of Xi Jinping, Communist China has continued to send
defectors from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea back to that
country, despite an elevated risk of execution and torture for
defectors; and
Whereas Christians of all backgrounds are persecuted in the People's Republic of
China, especially Christians not adhering to the Catholic or Protestant
state-sanctioned ``patriotic religious associations'', which serve as
propaganda arms for the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping Thought
on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) condemns the dictator of the People's Republic of
China, Xi Jinping, for engaging in a pattern of deceit,
undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating
crimes against humanity;
(2) stands in solidarity with the people of the People's
Republic of China, and all people around the world who have
endured the consequences of rule by the Chinese Communist
Party; and
(3) encourages the application of all applicable sanctions
authorities against officials of the Chinese Communist Party,
including sanctions authorized by the Global Magnitsky Human
Rights Accountability Act (22 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.).
