Restricting Trade with Chinese Institute Over Human Rights Abuses.
This bill mandates placing the Chinese Ministry of Public Security’s Institute of Forensic Science on the US trade restriction list (Entity List). This action targets an entity allegedly involved in repression, forced labor, and high-tech surveillance against Muslim minorities in China. The law strengthens US foreign policy by limiting trade with organizations linked to human rights violations, potentially affecting supply chains for certain US businesses.
Key points
The Chinese Institute of Forensic Science must be added to the Department of Commerce's Entity List, restricting US companies from exporting certain goods to it.
The measure is a response to the Institute's alleged involvement in human rights abuses, including mass detention and surveillance of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region.
The President has the power to waive the restrictions if they certify to Congress that the Institute is not violating human rights or acting against US interests.
