Sanctions on Chinese Communist Party Members for Human Rights Violations

This act imposes financial and visa sanctions on members of the National Communist Party Congress of the People’s Republic of China and their adult family members. The aim is to penalize human rights abuses in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the genocide of Uyghurs, affecting their ability to travel to the U.S. and access assets within the United States. U.S. citizens will not be directly impacted, but the act reflects the country's foreign policy.
Key points
Asset Blocking: Individuals subject to sanctions will not be able to use their assets located in the U.S.
U.S. Entry Ban: Sanctioned Chinese Communist Party members and their adult relatives will be denied visas and entry into the United States.
Waiver Possibility: The U.S. President can temporarily waive sanctions if China ceases human rights violations and aggression towards Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Sanction Exceptions: Sanctions do not apply to the importation of goods or U.S. national security activities.
