                                 A BILL


 
  To ensure that goods made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
 Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China do not enter the 
             United States market, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

<DELETED>SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    This Act may be cited as the ``Uyghur Forced Labor 
Prevention Act''.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 2. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of 
        the People's Republic of China, the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China has, since April 2017, arbitrarily detained 
        more than 1,000,000 Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of 
        other persecuted groups in a system of extrajudicial mass 
        internment camps, and has subjected detainees to forced labor, 
        torture, political indoctrination, and other severe human 
        rights abuses.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Forced labor, a severe form of human 
        trafficking, exists within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region's system of mass internment camps, and throughout the 
        region, and is confirmed by the testimony of former camp 
        detainees, satellite imagery, and official leaked documents 
        from the Government of the People's Republic of China as part 
        of a targeted campaign of repression of Muslim ethnic 
        minorities.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) In addition to reports from researchers and 
        civil society groups documenting evidence that many factories 
        and other suppliers in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 
        are exploiting forced labor, on July 22, 2020, the Bureau of 
        Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce added 11 
        entities to the Entity List set forth in Supplement No. 4 to 
        part 744 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, after 
        determining the entities had been ``implicated in human rights 
        violations and abuses in the implementation of China's campaign 
        of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-
        technology surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and members 
        of other persecuted groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The Government of the People's Republic of 
        China interferes with audits and traditional due diligence 
        efforts to vet goods and supply chains in the Xinjiang Uyghur 
        Autonomous Region to hinder identifying goods made in whole or 
        part with forced labor, including by intimidating potential 
        witnesses and concealing relevant information.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) Reports cited by the Department of Labor 
        estimate that hundreds of thousands of ex-detainees who are 
        Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other persecuted groups 
        in the People's Republic of China may be working in conditions 
        of forced labor following detention in re-education camps. 
        Moreover, nongovernmental organizations estimate that more than 
        80,000 Uyghurs were transferred out of the Xinjiang Uyghur 
        Autonomous Region to work in factories across the People's 
        Republic of China between 2017 and 2019, and some of them were 
        sent directly from detention camps.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) The Department of State's June 2020 
        Trafficking in Persons Report found, ``Authorities offer 
        subsidies incentivizing Chinese companies to open factories in 
        close proximity to the internment camps and to receive 
        transferred detainees at satellite manufacturing sites in other 
        provinces. Local governments receive additional funds for each 
        inmate forced to work in these sites at a fraction of minimum 
        wage or without any compensation. The government has 
        transported tens of thousands of these individuals to other 
        areas within Xinjiang and to other provinces for forced labor 
        under the guise of poverty alleviation and industrial aid 
        programs.''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued 
        11 withhold release orders on goods suspected to be produced 
        with prison or forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region. Goods subject to the withhold release orders include 
        all cotton, cotton products, tomatoes, and tomato products, as 
        well as certain garments, hair products, apparel, computer 
        parts, and other goods.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (8) In its 2019 annual report, the Congressional-
        Executive Commission on China found that goods reportedly 
        produced with forced labor by current and former mass 
        internment camp detainees included textiles, electronics, food 
        products, shoes, tea, and handicrafts.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (9) Under section 1091(a) of title 18, United 
        States Code, a person commits genocide if the person ``whether 
        in time of peace or in time of war and with the specific intent 
        to destroy, in whole or in substantial part, a national, 
        ethnic, racial, or religious group as such--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    ``(1) kills members of that 
                group;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    ``(2) causes serious bodily injury to 
                members of that group;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    ``(3) causes the permanent impairment of 
                the mental faculties of members of the group through 
                drugs, torture, or similar techniques;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    ``(4) subjects the group to conditions of 
                life that are intended to cause the physical 
                destruction of the group in whole or in part;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    ``(5) imposes measures intended to prevent 
                births within the group; or</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    ``(6) transfers by force children of the 
                group to another group.''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (10) As a direct result of the campaign of 
        targeted and coercive population control of the Government of 
        the People's Republic of China's against Uyghurs, the birthrate 
        of the Uyghur population in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region plummeted by 24 percent from 2017 to 2018, with 
        birthrates in the Uyghur majority regions of Hotan and Kashgar 
        decreasing by more than 60 percent from 2015 to 2018.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (11) The policies of the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China are in contravention of its human 
        rights commitments and obligations, including under--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) the Universal Declaration of Human 
                Rights;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) the International Covenant on Civil 
                and Political Rights, which the People's Republic of 
                China has signed but not yet ratified; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) the United Nations Protocol to 
                Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons 
                Especially Women and Children (commonly known as the 
                ``Palermo Protocol''), to which the People's Republic 
                of China has been a state party since February 
                2010.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    It is the policy of the United States--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) to strengthen the prohibition against the 
        importation of goods made with forced labor, including by 
        ensuring that the Government of the People's Republic of China 
        does not undermine the effective enforcement of section 307 of 
        the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307), which prohibits the 
        importation of ``[a]ll goods, wares, articles, and merchandise 
        mined, produced or manufactured wholly or in part in any 
        foreign country by . . . forced labor'';</DELETED>

        labor, including those goods mined, produced, or manufactured 
        in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) to actively work to prevent, publicly 
        denounce, and end human trafficking, including with respect to 
        forced labor, whether sponsored by the government of a foreign 
        country or not, and to restore the lives of those affected by 
        human trafficking, a modern form of slavery;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) to regard the prevention of atrocities as a 
        priority in the national interests of the United States; 
        and</DELETED>

                States and the People's Republic of China are members; 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) using all the authorities available to 
                the United States Government, including visa and

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the 
        People's Republic of China, the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China has, since April 2017, arbitrarily detained 
        more than 1,000,000 Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tibetans, and 
        members of other persecuted groups in a system of extrajudicial 
        mass internment camps, and has subjected detainees to forced 
        labor, torture, political indoctrination, and other severe 
        human rights abuses.
            (2) Forced labor, a severe form of human trafficking, 
        exists within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region's system of 
        mass internment camps, and throughout the region, and is 
        confirmed by the testimony of former camp detainees, satellite 
        imagery, and official leaked documents from the Government of 
        the People's Republic of China as part of a targeted campaign 
        of repression of Muslim ethnic minorities.
            (3) Researchers and civil society groups have issued 
        reports documenting evidence that many factories and other 
        suppliers in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are 
        exploiting forced labor, on July 22, 2020, the Bureau of 
        Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce added 11 
        entities to the Entity List set forth in Supplement No. 4 to 
        part 744 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, after 
        determining the entities had been ``implicated in human rights 
        violations and abuses in the implementation of China's campaign 
        of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-
        technology surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, 
        Tibetans, and members of other persecuted groups in the 
        Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region''.
            (4) Since October 2019, the Bureau of Industry and Security 
        of the Department of Commerce has added a total of 48 entities 
        of the Government of the People's Republic of China to the 
        Entity List set forth in Supplement No. 4 to part 744 of title 
        15, Code of Federal Regulations, in connection with their 
        implication in human rights abuses in the implementation of 
        China's campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, 
        forced labor, and high-technology surveillance against Uyghurs, 
        Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups in the 
        Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. As a consequence of their 
        addition to the Entity List, comprehensive restrictions apply 
        to the export, reexport, and in-country transfer of most United 
        States-origin items to those 48 entities. Audits and 
        traditional due diligence efforts to vet goods and supply 
        chains in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are unreliable 
        for identifying the absence of forced labor in the production 
        of goods because of interference by the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China, including through intimidation of 
        potential witnesses and concealment of relevant information.
            (5) Reports cited by the Department of Labor estimate that 
        hundreds of thousands of ex-detainees who are Uyghurs, Kazakhs, 
        Kyrgyz, Tibetans, or members of other persecuted groups in the 
        People's Republic of China may be working in conditions of 
        forced labor following detention in re-education camps. 
        Moreover, nongovernmental organizations estimate that more than 
        80,000 Uyghurs were transferred out of the Xinjiang Uyghur 
        Autonomous Region to work in factories across the People's 
        Republic of China between 2017 and 2019, and some of them were 
        sent directly from detention camps.
            (6) The Department of State's June 2020 Trafficking in 
        Persons Report found, ``Authorities offer subsidies 
        incentivizing Chinese companies to open factories in close 
        proximity to the internment camps and to receive transferred 
        detainees at satellite manufacturing sites in other provinces. 
        Local governments receive additional funds for each inmate 
        forced to work in these sites at a fraction of minimum wage or 
        without any compensation. The government has transported tens 
        of thousands of these individuals to other areas within 
        Xinjiang and to other provinces for forced labor under the 
        guise of poverty alleviation and industrial aid programs.''.
            (7) U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued 11 
        withhold release orders on goods suspected to be produced with 
        forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Goods 
        subject to the withhold release orders include all cotton, 
        cotton products, tomatoes, and tomato products, as well as 
        certain garments, hair products, apparel, computer parts, and 
        other goods.
            (8) In its 2019 annual report, the Congressional-Executive 
        Commission on China found that goods reportedly produced with 
        forced labor by current and former mass internment camp 
        detainees included textiles, electronics, food products, shoes, 
        tea, and handicrafts.
            (9) Under section 1091(a) of title 18, United States Code, 
        a person commits genocide if the person ``whether in time of 
        peace or in time of war and with the specific intent to 
        destroy, in whole or in substantial part, a national, ethnic, 
        racial, or religious group as such--
                    ``(1) kills members of that group;
                    ``(2) causes serious bodily injury to members of 
                that group;
                    ``(3) causes the permanent impairment of the mental 
                faculties of members of the group through drugs, 
                torture, or similar techniques;
                    ``(4) subjects the group to conditions of life that 
                are intended to cause the physical destruction of the 
                group in whole or in part;
                    ``(5) imposes measures intended to prevent births 
                within the group; or
                    ``(6) transfers by force children of the group to 
                another group.''.
            (10) As a direct result of the campaign of targeted and 
        coercive population control of the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China's against Uyghurs, the birthrate of the 
        Uyghur population in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 
        plummeted by 24 percent from 2017 to 2018, with birthrates in 
        the Uyghur majority regions of Hotan and Kashgar decreasing by 
        more than 60 percent from 2015 to 2018.
            (11) The policies of the Government of the People's 
        Republic of China are in contravention of its human rights 
        commitments and obligations, including under--
                    (A) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
                    (B) the International Covenant on Civil and 
                Political Rights, which the People's Republic of China 
                has signed but not yet ratified; and
                    (C) the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, 
                Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially 
                Women and Children (commonly known as the ``Palermo 
                Protocol''), to which the People's Republic of China 
                has been a state party since February 2010.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to strengthen the prohibition against the importation 
        of goods made with forced labor, including by ensuring that the 
        Government of the People's Republic of China does not undermine 
        the effective enforcement of section 307 of the Tariff Act of 
        1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307), which prohibits the importation of all 
        ``goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced or 
        manufactured wholly or in part in any foreign country by . . . 
        forced labor'';
            (2) to lead the international community in ending forced 
        labor practices wherever such practices occur through all means 
        available to the United States Government, including by 
        stopping the importation of any goods made with forced labor, 
        including those goods mined, produced, or manufactured wholly 
        or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region;
            (3) to actively work to prevent, publicly denounce, and end 
        human trafficking, including with respect to forced labor, 
        whether sponsored by the government of a foreign country or 
        not, and to restore the lives of those affected by human 
        trafficking, a modern form of slavery;
            (4) to regard the prevention of atrocities as a priority in 
        the national interests of the United States; and
            (5) to address gross violations of human rights in the 
        Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region--
                    (A) through bilateral diplomatic channels and 
                multilateral institutions in which both the United 
                States and the People's Republic of China are members; 
                and
                    (B) using all the authorities available to the 
                United States Government, including visa and financial 
                sanctions, export restrictions, and import controls.
