Speaker Pelosi Delivers Remarks on Bipartisan Package to Counter Beijing’s Human Rights Abuses

Right now, Beijing is orchestrating a brutal and accelerating campaign of repression against the Uyghur people and other Muslim minorities.​ In Xinjiang and across China, millions are enduring outrageous human rights abuses: from mass surveillance and discriminatory policing; to mass incarceration in labor camps; to mass torture, including solitary confinement and forced sterilizations; to intimidation of journalists and activists who have dared to expose the truth. This strong, bipartisan legislative package condemns and confronts Beijing's human rights abuses. With this legislation, we are better able to fight forced labor, we shine a bright light on this pattern of abuse, and we send Beijing a clear signal: this genocide must end now. Watch my full floor speech on this legislation above.
