US congressional study urges sanctions on China over 'crimes against humanity'

A US congressional report released on Wednesday called for sanctions against China over human rights abuses, and for US officials to keep rights concerns in mind during dealings with Beijing, including trade negotiations.

"In addition, the administration should develop talking points for US government officials - including those engaged in trade negotiations - that consistently link freedoms of press, speech, and association to US and Chinese interests," the report said. Rubio said he expected a version of the bill that could pass the Senate unanimously - avoiding procedural snafus that could block legislation in that chamber - and pass the House and be signed into law by Trump.

"US foreign policy must prioritise the promotion of universal human rights and the rule of law in China, not only to respect and protect the basic dignity of the people of China but to better promote security and prosperity for all of humanity," it said.
