Select Committee on the CCP Adopts Proposals on Uyghur Genocide & Taiwan

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party adopted its policy proposals to help end the CCP's ongoing Uyghur genocide and overwhelmingly adopted its policy proposals to enhance Taiwan's deterrence. The first bipartisan set of policy recommendations stem from the Select Committee's hearing in March that featured a witness and two survivors of the CCP's ongoing Uyghur genocide. The second follows the Select Committee's April tabletop exercise that showcased the immense costs of a deterrence failure in the Indo-Pacific region.

Following the bipartisan votes, Chairman Mike Gallagher and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi issued a joint statement on the Select Committee's first policy endorsements:

"The competition with the CCP requires us working together across the aisle, and we are proud that today we voted overwhelmingly to adopt the Select Committee’s first policy recommendations regarding the Uyghur genocide and Taiwan. This is only a first step, and we will continue operating in a bipartisan way to send a message that we are committed to deterrence in the Taiwan Strait and that we won’t turn a blind eye as the CCP commits genocide, “the crime above all crimes,” against the Uyghur people.”
