SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 3
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Sanctioning Tyrannical 4
and Oppressive People within the Chinese Communist 5
Party Act’’ or the ‘‘STOP CCP Act’’. 6
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 7
Congress finds the following: 8
(1) The Hong Kong National Security Law pro-9
mulgated on July 1, 2020— 10
(A) contravenes the Basic Law of the Hong 11
Kong Special Administrative Region that pro-12
vides in Article 23 that the Legislative Council 13
of Hong Kong shall enact legislation related to 14
national security; 15
(B) violates the People’s Republic of China’s 16
commitments under international law, as de-17
fined by the Joint Declaration; and 18
(C) causes severe and irreparable damage to 19
the ‘‘one country, two systems’’ principle and 20
further erodes global confidence in the People’s 21
Republic of China’s commitment to international 22
law. 23
(2) Repression of ethnic Muslim minorities in 24
the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the Peo-25

ple’s Republic of China has been ongoing, and was 1
formalized with the ‘‘Strike Hard Campaign against 2
Violent Terrorism’’ that began in 2014. 3
(3) The mass internment of Uyghur and other 4
Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur 5
Autonomous Region has been ongoing since April 6
2017. 7
(4) The People’s Republic of China has con-8
ducted a targeted and systemic population-control 9
campaign against ethnic and religious minorities in 10
the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region by impos-11
ing and implementing coercive population-control 12
practices, including selectively enforcing birth quotas, 13
targeting minority women who are in noncompliance 14
with birth quotas, and subjecting women to coercive 15
measures such as forced birth control, forced steriliza-16
tion, and forced abortion. 17
(5) On October 6, 2020, 39 countries delivered a 18
cross-regional joint statement to the United States 19
Mission to the United Nations on the human rights 20
abuses on Uyghurs and other minorities for forced 21
birth control including sterilization. 22
(6) On January 19, 2021, the Department of 23
State determined that the People’s Republic of China 24
committed crimes against humanity and genocide 25

against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious mi-1
nority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 2
Region, citing forced sterilizations, forced abortions, 3
coerced marriages, and separation of Uyghur children 4
from their families. 5
(7) The Department of State’s 2020 Country Re-6
ports on Human Rights Practices affirmed the geno-7
cide determination and noted coercive population 8
control measures inflicted on ethnic and religious mi-9
nority women in China, including forced injections 10
with ‘‘drugs that cause temporary or permanent end 11
to their menstrual cycles and fertility’’. 12
(8) The United States ratified the United Na-13
tions Convention on the Prevention and Punishment 14
of Genocide in 1988, recognizing that ‘‘imposing 15
measures intended to prevent births within the group’’ 16
with intent to destroy a group in whole or part is an 17
act that constitutes genocide. 18
(9) Taiwan is a free and prosperous democracy 19
of nearly 24,000,000 people and an important con-20
tributor to peace and stability around the world. 21
(10) Section 2(b) of the Taiwan Relations Act 22
(Public Law 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301(b)) states that it 23
is the policy of the United States— 24

Taiwan’’. 2
(11) Since the election of President Tsai Ing-wen 3
as President of Taiwan in 2016, the Government of 4
the People’s Republic of China has intensified its ef-5
forts to pressure Taiwan through diplomatic isolation 6
and military provocations. 7
(12) The rapid modernization of the People’s 8
Liberation Army and recent military maneuvers in 9
and around the Taiwan Strait illustrate a clear 10
threat to Taiwan’s security. 11
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 12
It is the sense of Congress that members of the Chinese 13
Communist Party, led by General Secretary Xi Jinping, 14
are responsible for violations of Hong Kong’s autonomy, in-15
creased aggression against the people of Taiwan, numerous 16
human rights violations against the people of Hong Kong 17
and the people of Taiwan, and acts of repression and geno-18
cide against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Au-19
