House Might Take Up Bill to Sanction Chinese Leaders for Human Rights Abuses

The House of Representatives this week might consider a bill to impose property-blocking sanctions on Chinese Communist Party leaders for committing human rights violations, according to a House floor calendar. A House Rules Committee hearing on the Stop CCP Act is scheduled for Sept. 23. The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved the bill by a 28-22 vote in March (see 2403210076).
