This House resolution condemns the Government of the People’s Republic of China for allegedly harassing and intimidating persons on U.S. soil to suppress unwelcome speech and scholarship. It documents examples of alleged PRC actions, urges U.S. federal and local law enforcement to act, asks academic institutions to protect academic freedom, calls on the executive branch to raise these incidents diplomatically, and urges international cooperation to counter transnational repression.
