This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives, strongly condemning the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) for its systematic efforts to suppress free speech, assembly, and academic freedom within the United States. The PRC's actions include harassment and intimidation of American citizens and other individuals on U.S. soil, specifically targeting those whose research or views are deemed unwelcome by the Chinese Communist Party. These tactics aim to create a chilling effect on academic exchange and public discourse, undermining fundamental democratic values.

To counter these threats, the resolution calls upon United States federal and local law enforcement agencies to enhance vigilance and take swift action against the PRC's attempts to extend its intolerance of dissent. It also urges U.S. academic institutions and think tanks to actively protect academic freedom by resisting pressure from foreign entities, including the PRC, that seek to stifle open scholarly research and debate. The resolution reaffirms the United States' unwavering commitment to defending individuals' rights to express themselves freely without fear of retaliation.

Furthermore, the resolution directs the executive branch, particularly the Secretary of State, to raise specific incidents of PRC harassment and intimidation in diplomatic engagements with the PRC Government. It advocates for robust international collaboration with allies and partners to highlight and address the growing threat of transnational repression and to establish global norms against such practices. Finally, it calls on U.S. representatives to international organizations to use their influence to support resolutions condemning the transnational suppression of free speech and demanding accountability.
