For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, passing H.R. 4785, the Uyghur Policy Act of 2021, would send a message loud and clear that the PRC's inhumane policies to dilute and destroy the identity of the Uyghur people have no place in today's world. The United States stands firmly with the Uyghur people and we will continue pushing to end the PRC's horrific and inhumane behavior. We need to show strong bipartisan House support to the administration to use its tools to help protect the Uyghur culture and identity and promote respect for human rights and religious freedom of Uyghurs and members of other minority groups in China. The House also stands in strong solidarity with the Chinese people protesting all over China in recent days. Mr. Speaker, I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this, and I yield back the balance of my time.
