Summary
A bipartisan group of 14 House lawmakers asked the State Department to publicly condemn China’s “Ethnic Unity Law” in a letter led by Jim McGovern, Chris Smith and Ro Khanna.
The lawmakers said the measure does not promote equality but instead codifies and expands forced assimilation targeting Tibetans, Uyghurs, Southern Mongolians and other non-Han communities.
Their letter urged Secretary Marco Rubio to take a stronger U.S. stance against the law as part of broader human-rights pressure on Beijing.
Signatories included Republican Michael McCaul and Democrats Ilhan Omar, Veronica Escobar, Eleanor Holmes Norton and others, underscoring bipartisan concern over China’s ethnic policies.
