Bill > HR3737

This bill addresses the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre and aims to counter the Chinese Communist Party's ongoing efforts to suppress information about the event. The bill highlights the government's 36-year history of censorship, including blocking internet searches, banning school teachings, preventing public mourning, and silencing activists related to the massacre. It establishes a U.S. policy to mark the significance of the 1989 pro-democracy demonstrations, create strategies to combat censorship, seek the release of detained activists like Jimmy Lai, and use diplomatic and legal mechanisms to hold Chinese officials accountable for human rights violations. The bill also calls on the Librarian of Congress to collaborate with non-governmental organizations to create exhibitions that showcase the Tiananmen protests' history and impact, including stories of survivors now living in the United States. Additionally, the legislation seeks to protect U.S. citizens from intimidation by the Chinese government when commemorating the massacre or advocating for democratic reforms, and proposes using United Nations platforms to address censorship and transnational repression.
