Act to Counter Human Rights Abuses by China.

This act aims to combat human rights abuses by Chinese authorities. It mandates the inclusion of China's Ministry of Public Security's Institute of Forensic Science on a restricted entity list. This measure seeks to limit the use of technology for repression and surveillance, indirectly influencing global human rights standards.
Key points
China's Ministry of Public Security's Institute of Forensic Science will be added to a list of entities subject to trade restrictions.
The U.S. President can waive this decision if the Institute is not involved in activities contrary to U.S. foreign policy or human rights abuses, especially against minorities in the Xinjiang region.
The goal is to limit support for repressive actions like mass detentions and technological surveillance.
