report of the ,u4,s4                    
,congressional-,executive ,commission on
 ,china for #bjai indicates that-- 7#a7 
the one-party authoritarian political   
system of the ,people's ,republic of

,kong protests1 attributing the protests
 to influence by foreign forces1 and    

threatening protesters in ,hong ,kong2  
7#e7 officials of the ,government of the
 ,people's ,republic of ,china and the

rule1 often targeting human rights      
advocates1 religious believers1 and     
ethnic minority groups2 and  7#f7 the   
,government of the ,people's ,republic  
of ,china is likely committing crimes   
against humanity2 ,whereas1 before the

and according to the ,department of     
,state ,country ,reports on ,human      
,rights ,practices for #bjah1 such      

repression has intensified since the    
#bjjh ,summer ,olympics in ,beijing2    
,whereas four ,special ,rapporteurs of  
the ,united ,nations have urged the     
governing authorities in ,hong ,kong and
 the ,people's ,republic of ,china to   
ensure protestors in ,hong ,kong may    
fully exercise the right to peacefully  
assemble1 including-- 7#a7 the ,special 
,rapporteur on the promotion and        
protection of the right to freedom of

inhuman1 or degrading treatment or      
punishment2 ,whereas police in ,hong    
,kong have arrested more than #f1jjj    
individuals and fired more than #af1jjj 
rounds of tear gas during the seven     
months of protests by people of ,hong   
,kong seeking to uphold their liberties 

and the autonomy of ,hong ,kong1 as     
articulated in the ,basic ,law of the   
,hong ,kong ,special ,administrative    
,region of the ,people's ,republic of   
,china 7referred to in this preamble as 
the ,basic ,law72 ,whereas1 the ,law of 
the ,people's ,republic of ,china on    
,safeguarding ,national ,security in the
 ,hong ,kong ,special ,administrative   
,region 7referred to in this preamble as
 the 8,hong ,kong national security     
law07 is implemented to suppress        
pro-democracy demonstrators and remove  
the rights and liberties from the people
 of ,hong ,kong guaranteed in the ,basic
 ,law2 ,whereas the report of the       
,network of ,chinese ,human ,rights     
,defenders entitled ,defending ,rights  
in a ,no ,rights ,zone3 ,annual ,report 
on the ,situation of ,human ,rights     
,defenders in ,china 7#bjah7 indicates  
that-- 7#a7 authorities in the ,people's
 ,republic of ,china continue to charge 
,tibetans with inciting separatism for  
expressing political or religious       

dissent and impose heavy prison         
sentences on such individuals2  7#b7 the
 ,government of the ,people's ,republic 
of ,china continues to implement its    
draconian #bjag cybersecurity law1 which
 authorizes invasive cyber surveillance 
and provides broad authority to restrict
 and penalize online expression2  7#c7  
the ,government of the ,people's        
,republic of ,china intends to have full
 coverage1 connectivity1 and control of 
the entire ,people's ,republic of ,china
 by police video surveillance2 and  7#d7
 the ,government of the ,people's       
,republic of ,china boldly retaliates   
against human rights advocates for their
 work upholding international standards 
and cooperating with the ,united        
,nations human rights mechanisms2       
,whereas1 in ,january #bjbj1 the        
editorial board of ,the ,washington     
,post questioned whether the ,people's  
,republic of ,china should be allowed to
 host the #bjbb ,winter ,olympics in one
 city while running concentration camps 

in another2 and ,whereas the flagrant   
human rights abuses committed by the    
,government of the ,people's ,republic  
of ,china are inconsistent with ,olympic
 values3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that-- 
7#a7 the ,senate supports the values of 
,olympism and the principles of ,team   
,,usa with respect to the protection    
of-- 7,a7 the rights1 safety1 and       
well-being of athletes2 and  7,b7 the   
integrity of sport2 and  7#b7 it is the 
sense of the ,senate that1 consistent   
with the principles of the              
,international ,olympic ,committee1     
unless the ,government of the ,people's 
,republic of ,china demonstrates        
significant progress in securing        
fundamental human rights1 including the 
freedoms of religion1 speech1 movement1 
association1 and assembly1 the          
,international ,olympic ,committee      
should rebid the #bjbb ,winter ,olympics
 to be hosted by a country that         
recognizes and respects human rights4
