## Summary

**Codifies Sinicization** — This resolution would condemn China’s Ethnic Unity and Progress Law as a legal step that enshrines coercive assimilation of ethnic and religious minorities and warns the law extends state control beyond China’s borders. It highlights threats to language, religion, family life, and independent cultural institutions and urges coordinated responses from the United States and allies. - Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, Hui Muslims, Christians, and people in Hong Kong would be singled out as most at risk; the resolution says the law restricts minority languages, curbs religious practice, and enables state-led schooling and other measures that separate children from families. - People and organizations outside China would face new exposure because the law includes extraterritorial provisions that could be used to pursue individuals abroad, a risk Taiwanese and overseas dissidents have warned about. - U.S. policy actors would be urged to monitor and report impacts with allies, reaffirm rights protections and the 2021 genocide finding, consider targeted sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, and recognize Tibetan leaders’ authority over reincarnation decisions.
