How can you not remember a call with the President of the United States?

I take great care to make this distinction clear. I hope that all my fellow commissioners do as well.

For the last 60 days, the Congressional-Executive Commission on China has conducted a daily #OlympicPrisoner social media campaign to tell just a few of these stories.

I hope it will provide support to Olympians who fear for their freedom of expression, their data privacy, and their basic rights.

The fact that this is happening now, it's unconscionable.

Rahile Dawut is a renowned anthropologist.

I think that needs to be stated for the record.

The IOC--those that go along to get along under these circumstances are complicit.

I'm concerned that her allegation of sexual assault against the senior Chinese official will not be investigated by the justice system and that she may not receive any needed psychological support as a victim of trauma.

The idea that you could be holding an Olympics in a country that is engaged in genocide, I mean, boy--I can't believe that that in and of itself wasn't enough for them to take a pass on China.

It has to change. Really, it is in the government of China's interest, I think, to change its approach.

If I could just ask my friend Nathan Law, thank you for the update on Joshua Wong.

Can you explain what RSDL is? What should the UN and the U.S. be doing about this practice?

Everything you do to speak out and raise awareness about what is happening inside Tibet helps the Tibetans.

Thank you for your tireless advocacy on behalf of your uncle.

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act... is now law. We will make sure it is funded.

What does it profit a country if it gains the whole world and suffers the loss of its soul?

When we talk about genocide of the Uyghurs, it's a horrible thing. It's diabolical.

What I see is the cowardice of the Chinese government, the cowardice of their actions...

I think it speaks volumes about her commitment to human rights.

This cannot be business as usual and I think there is a moral obligation by those who are covering these events.

I hope that they don't see themselves as a vehicle simply to promote the propaganda that the government is going to put forward.

I’ll close by quoting Lee Cheuk-yan, a former legislator who has devoted his life to keeping alive the memory of those who died fighting for freedom in Tiananmen Square.

No matter what you do, we will not forget, we will not go away.

America sees you. America stands with you. America will continue to fight for you.
