AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the sanctions under the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 to address ongoing human rights abuses in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, including systematic rape, forced abortion, forced sterilization, human trafficking for organ removal, and forced deportation. It also calls for the denial of U.S. entry for individuals complicit in forced abortions or forced sterilizations, and authorizes assistance to provide physical and psychological support for affected ethnic groups residing outside of China. The bill requires a determination of whether certain Chinese entities meet the criteria for sanctions, a strategy to counter Chinese propaganda about the genocide, and a prohibition on U.S. government contracts with entities complicit in forced labor or human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
