The more than 1,400 political prisoners in Hong Kong are living, breathing evidence of this. You ignore this reality at your own risk.

We in Congress and on this Commission will continue to call out the use of the National Security Law to criminalize the exercise of rights, and we will continue to champion the cases of political prisoners in Hong Kong.

I call the young people of Hong Kong today 'the prison generation'--oppression is one of their most defining experiences.

What has happened to my father could happen to anyone, to any organization.

It is critical to understand that the imprisonment of these more than 1,400 people is just the beginning of the story.

Hold the line. Continue to take a tough stand on Hong Kong, and let the Communist Party know that the crackdown on Hong Kong will continue to be an impediment to improved U.S.-China relations.

I know that we kind of think of you as the iron man of human rights in the House of Representatives.

Overnight, the CCP betrayed not just the people of Hong Kong, but it lied baldfaced to the rest of the world in its ambition.

It was pretty much unacceptable that there were not real alternative solutions provided before they were stripped of working solutions.

They want an EPA that is collaborative and not punitive.

Thank you for your steadfast and groundbreaking leadership on the Tibetan issue.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Secretary Vilsack, first, I want to thank you for saying that access to affordable, nutritious food is a fundamental human right, and I couldn't agree with you more on that.

We appreciate your consideration of the immense positive impact SNAP has on the lives of millions of Americans as well as its beneficial impact on the national economy and our nation's long-term financial sustainability.

My answer to that question is H.R. 533, the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Conflict Act that I introduced in January with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul.

We have to engage our European likeminded partners in a unified voice against this Chinese oppression.

If thousands of children, including children of preschool age, are coerced into attending boarding schools where the instructional language is mostly Mandarin, while also being prevented from studying Tibetan language, history, and culture…

Cultural erasure happens when a people's language, and religious and cultural heritage are stripped from them.

They also have used the forced abortion, coercive population control program very effectively as a tool of genocide.
