resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,relations       
,,resolution  ,condemning the ,chinese  
,communist ,party's use of forced labor 
and other coercive measures to destroy  
religious freedom in ,tibet4  ,whereas  
the ,chinese ,communist ,party has long 
persecuted ,tibetans for their religious
 beliefs1 including by illegitimately   
claiming authority to designate the     
,dalai ,lama's successor1 destroying    
religious institutions1 and arbitrarily 
detaining1 disappearing1 and torturing  
,tibetans in order to compel adherence  
to normal religious activities1 as      

sanctioned by the ,party2 ,whereas the  
,chinese ,communist ,party has launched 
a policy of ,sinicization of ,tibetans  
and escalated its attacks on ,tibetans  
by removing ,tibetan farmers and herders
 from their land1 compelling them to    
cede control of their land and herds to 
state authorities1 transferring them to 
state facilities where they are         
subjected to forced labor training      
programs1 political indoctrination1 and 
other abuses1 and sending them to       
state-assigned jobs in ,tibet and other 
parts of ,china1 often far from their   
families and communities2 ,whereas the  
,chinese ,communist ,party views forced 
labor and other coercive measures as    
acceptable practices for strengthening  
the ,chinese economy1 while             
simultaneously suppressing or           
eliminating religious and ethnic groups 
that it views as inherently threatening 
to its rule and other political         
ambitions2 ,whereas the ,chinese        
,communist ,party's actions in ,tibet1  

like its actions in the ,xinjiang       
,uyghur ,autonomous ,region and other   
parts of ,china1 reflect the ,party's   
belief that might makes right and its   
determination to use every measure at   
its disposal1 no matter how heinous1 to 
consolidate power and advance its       
interests2 and ,whereas the ,chinese    
,communist ,party believes that might   
makes right not just domestically1 but  
also in international relations1 as     
evidenced by its actions in the ,taiwan 
,strait1 the ,south and ,east ,china    
,seas1 along the ,sino-,indian border1  
and in cyberspace1 as well as its use of
 economic threats to silence or         
otherwise compel nations1 businesses1   
and individuals to accede to its demands
 throughout the ,indo-,pacific region   
and beyond3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that
 the ,senate-- 7#a7 condemns the        
,chinese ,communist ,party's campaign   
against religious freedom in ,tibet1    
including its plainly illegitimate      
efforts to designate the next ,dalai    

,lama1 which is a matter that should be 
determined solely within the ,tibetan   
,buddhist faith community2  7#b7 calls  
for an investigation into the ,chinese  
,communist ,party's use of forced labor1
 in addition to other coercive measures1
 to force ,tibetans to practice their   
faith in a manner compliant with the    
,party's interpretation of normal       
religious activities2  7#c7 calls on    
,united ,states companies to scrutinize 
their supply chains and divest of       
suppliers and other partners that use   
,tibetan or other forced labor programs 
or are unable to certify that they do   
not use ,tibetan or other forced labor2 
7#d7 calls on the ,united ,states       
,government to proactively support1 as  
per the ,tibetan ,policy ,act of #bjjb

,u4,s4,c4 #fija note71 the ,dalai       
,lama's call for negotiations to resolve
 the issue of ,tibet1 including by      
preserving religious freedom and        

,tibetan labor rights2 and  7#e7        
encourages all nations to condemn the   
,chinese ,communist ,party's attempts to
 impose its will on others1 both at home
 and abroad1 and stand together against 
the ,party's hegemonic agenda4
