Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to establish a memorial in International Park in Northwest Washington, D.C., within two years of enactment to honor victims of persecution and alleged crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese Communist Party. The memorial will specifically highlight the persecution of Uyghurs and ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, suppression of Tibetan and Mongolian culture and religion, imprisonment of democracy advocates and journalists, and restrictions on fundamental freedoms in China. The memorial will include educational materials and artwork describing these issues while expressing American solidarity with the Chinese people and hope for their future freedom. Federal spending on design and construction is capped at $500,000 using existing State Department funds, though private donations are welcome and unlimited. The Secretary of State may consult with survivors, victims' families, and human rights organizations when designing and maintaining the memorial.
