US Sanctions for Forced Organ Harvesting in China (Falun Gong)
This Act imposes financial and visa sanctions on foreign individuals and entities knowingly involved in forced organ harvesting within the People's Republic of China. The goal is to pressure Chinese authorities to end these practices, particularly against persecuted groups like Falun Gong. For US citizens, this means a defined foreign policy stance and a ban on cooperation in the field of organ transplantation with China.
Key points
