I intend to reach out to the Moroccan foreign ministry to ask that they withhold any removal proceedings, given the danger that Yidiresi faces in the PRC.

We wrote to the IOC 'to review and ultimately reassign the location of the 2022 Winter Olympics given credible reporting of the mass arbitrary internment of one million or more Uyghurs.'

Holding the 2022 Winter Olympics in China and allowing its authoritarian government to reap the rewards in prestige and propaganda of hosting this globally beloved event does not uphold the Olympic spirit.

I think we all appreciate you being here. And there was some tough questioning here, I think which is an indication of how strongly many of us feel.

Everybody supports the athletes. This is not about--this whole hearing is not about supporting the athletes.

While your complicity might not be so direct, your corporate involvement in the Olympic Games nevertheless does further the interests of the government of China.

I appreciate everybody's commitment to human rights, but I kind of feel we've tiptoed around the focus of this hearing.

In October of 2018 Senator Rubio and I had also written IOC President Bach, asking the IOC to 'review and ultimately reassign the location of the 2022 Winter Olympics.'

Now we ask you, as American companies, to do your part.

What is particularly galling to me about the IOC's response is its cold indifference to genocide.

And I just hope that your company boards and executives will engage in some pretty significant thinking about how you exercise that set of tools in the context of the horrific practices and genocide that China is engaged in.

No Olympics should be held in a country whose government is committing genocide and crimes against humanity.

We wrote to the International Olympic Committee's President Thomas Bach last week, stating unequivocally that 'No Olympics should be held in a country whose government is committing genocide and crimes against humanity.'

We have stressed with the IOC the importance of human rights to Intel and have encouraged them to take these matters most seriously.

But sometimes greater sacrifice is called for from each of us, and that would include the athletes as well.

Chairman Merkley and Co-chairman McGovern, thank you again for the invitation to testify this morning.

And our goal here really is to try to find a way to persuade China to change its behavior.

We hold this hearing as the Summer Games are going on in Tokyo. And we wish the athletes the best of luck.

I respectfully suggest that moral posturing is--granted, these corporations are not directly complicit in China abuses--they're not Thermo Fisher Scientific, whose DNA sequences were used to collect the biometric data of Uyghurs.

Each of us has to be challenged in our code of conduct for our own personal morality...

At the end of the day, in this case as in so many others, it is a person, with a name, who is being oppressed.

I intend to reach out to the Moroccan Foreign Ministry to ask that they withhold any removal proceedings given the danger that he faces in the PRC.

Last week, Senators Merkley and Rubio, and Congressman Smith and I, asked the International Olympic Committee to postpone the Beijing Olympics and relocate them if China does not change its behavior.

What is happening in China right now, especially in Xinjiang, is beyond the pale.

Would your company be willing to ask the IOC to postpone the Olympics to allow time for the Chinese government to stop its atrocities and relocate if they do not?
