 ,norman1 and ,mr4 ,gosar7 introduced   
the following bill2 which was referred  
to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs  
,a ,,bill  ,to prohibit using ,federal  
funds to refer to the head of state of  
the ,people's ,republic of ,china as    
,president on new ,united ,states       
,government documents and               
communications1 and for other purposes4 
#a4 ,short title ,this ,act may be cited
 as the ,general ,secretary ,act4  #b4  
,findings ,congress finds the following3
 7#a7 ,the leadership of the ,people's  
,republic of ,china has gone            
unchallenged in its perverse pursuits of
 human rights abuses across decades1    
including in its commission of the      
following3 7,a7 ,the ,campaign to       
,suppress ,counterrevolutionaries1 which
 killed #gab1jjj people4  7,b7 ,the     
,chinese ,land ,reform ,movement1 which 

may have killed up to a million ,chinese
 citizens4  7,c7 ,the ,great ,chinese   
,famine1 a man-made disaster that may   
have killed approximately #cj1jjj1jjj   
people2 of that total1 it is estimated  
that anywhere between #b1jjj1jjj and    
#c1jjj1jjj people were beaten or        
tortured to death4  7,d7 ,the crackdown 
of the pro-democracy ,tiananmen ,square 
protests in #aihi1 which may have killed
 up to #aj1jjj people4  7#b7 ,in recent 
years1 the ,chinese ,communist ,party   
7,,ccp7 has continued its barbaric and  
uncivilized rule1 including by-- 7,a7   
harvesting the organs of up to thousands
 of ,chinese citizens every year1 many  
of whom are ,falun ,gong practitioners2 
7,b7 coercing over half a million       
,tibetans to work in forced labor camps 
in the first seven months of #bjbj1 and 
forcibly sending thousands of ,tibetans 
to areas within the ,people's ,republic 
of ,china 7,,prc72 and  7,c7 imprisoning
 up to #b1jjj1jjj ,uyghurs and ethnic   
,kazaks and ,uzbeks in re-education     

camps since ,april #bjag1 as well as    
condoning and facilitating the practice 
of forced abortion1 sterilization1 and  
other forms of sexual abuse on women    
imprisoned in these camps4  7#c7 ,on    
,january #ai1 #bjba1 then-,secretary of 
,state ,michael ,r4 ,pompeo determined  
that the ,,ccp has committed genocide   
against the predominantly ,muslim       
,uyghurs and other ethnic and religious 
minority groups in the ,xinjiang ,uyghur
 ,autonomous ,region4  7#d7 ,since late 
#bjaf1 when the ,,ccp escalated its     
,strike ,hard ,campaign ,against        
,violent ,terrorism1 ,xinjiang          
province's criminal justice system has  
convicted and sentenced more than       
#bej1jjj people to imprisonment1 often  
without the defendant having committed a
 genuine offense4  7#e7 ,the blatant    
disregard that the ,,ccp has for basic  
human decency runs contrary to the      
well-functioning of an open and         
civilized society1 and responsibility   
for the ongoing genocide in ,xinjiang   

and human rights abuses throughout      
,china must lie with the head of state  
of the ,people's ,republic of ,china4   
7#f7 ,the title of ,president has often 
been utilized to describe the office of 
the head of state of the ,people's      
,republic of ,china1 in both the ,united
 ,states ,government and private        
publications4  7#g7 ,addressing the head
 of state of the ,people's ,republic of 
,china as a ,president grants the       
incorrect assumption that the people of 
the state1 via democratic means1 have   
readily legitimized the leader who rules
 them4  7#h7 ,the head of state of the  
,people's ,republic of ,china derives   
all power and authority from the ,,ccp  
and is accountable only to them4  7#i7  
,the bipartisan ,u4,s4-,china ,economic 
and ,security ,review ,commission stated
 the following in the ,executive        
,summary of their #bjai report to       
,congress3 ,if there were glimmers of   
political opening in ,china1 they have  
been firmly extinguished4 ,it is for    

this reason that this year the          
,commission made the decision to start  
referring to ,xi ,jinping using the     
title by which he derives his authority3
 ,general ,secretary of the ,chinese    
,communist ,party4 ,china is not a      
democracy1 and its citizens have no     
right to vote1 assemble1 or speak       
freely4 ,giving ,general ,secretary ,xi 
the unearned title of ,president lends a
 veneer of democratic legitimacy to the 
,,ccp and ,xi's authoritarian rule44    
#c4 ,united states policy ,it is the    
policy of the ,united ,states to-- 7#a7 
condemn in the strongest possible terms 
the horrific human rights abuses being  
perpetuated and enabled by the          
leadership of the ,,ccp2  7#b7 urge all 
countries to do the same2  7#c7         
recognize the deep friendship between   
the ,united ,states and the citizens of 
the ,people's ,republic of ,china1 the  
first victims of their government's     
cruelty2 and  7#d7 honor the memory of  
all those who have died as a result of  

the callous rule of the ,,ccp4  #d4     
,prohibition on using ,federal funds to 
refer to the head of state of the       
,people's ,republic of ,china as        
,president on new ,united ,states       
,government documents and communications
 ,notwithstanding any other provision of
 law1 the ,federal ,government may not  
obligate or expend any funds for the    
creation and dissemination of ,united   
,states ,government documents and       
communications that refer to the head of
 state of the ,people's ,republic of    
,china as anything other than ,general  
,secretary of the ,chinese ,communist   
,party1 or alternatively1 as ,general   
,secretary4
