The Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing genocide of the Uyghur ethnic minority in China is a crime against humanity.
Today I voted to crack down on goods made by forced labor in Xinjiang as part of the ethnic cleansing of the Uyghur people.

The Chinese Communist Party has lied and dissembled to cover up internment camps, torture, rape, and forced sterilization. They have attempted to eradicate the religious beliefs of the Uyghur people. It is evil, it is unacceptable, and we will fight it.
Despite efforts to politicize this issue, holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable has been a longstanding bipartisan mission, with both parties strongly in favor of cracking down on this authoritarian government and protecting the human rights of the Chinese people.
I support the diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. I call on the administration to ban Chinese goods made with slave labor and advocate for a designation of genocide. I will continue to fight for the human rights and human dignity for all people, everywhere.
