That it is the sense of the Senate that—
the case of Peng Shuai is directly related to broader international concerns around the freedom of speech and safety in China;
the failure of the International Olympic Committee to clearly and forcefully challenge the claims of the Government of the People's Republic of China concerning Peng's safety raises questions about the ability and willingness of the International Olympic Committee to stand up for the human rights of athletes participating in the Olympic and Paralympic games in Beijing, as well as in future games;
the Government of the People's Republic of China should immediately take steps to—
allow Peng to provide independent and verifiable proof of her own whereabouts and safety without retribution;
allow Peng to engage directly with the Women's Tennis Association and the United Nations to independently verify her safety and explain her absences from public life since making her allegation;
open an independent and transparent investigation into Peng's allegations against former senior Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli;
publicly commit to hold sexual violence abusers accountable;
cease all censorship of reporting and discussions of Peng's case; and
allow Peng to leave China if she so desires and prevent any retaliation against family members remaining there;
the International Olympic Committee, by failing to clearly and forcefully challenge the Chinese Communist Party's narrative, has failed to uphold its own stated commitments with regard to “[r]espect for international conventions on protecting human rights”, as outlined in the Code of Ethics of the International Olympic Committee, and runs counter to efforts by the United States Government, human rights organizations, the Women's Tennis Association, and other international bodies and individuals to secure Peng's safety;
to regain lost public confidence, the International Olympic Committee should publicly call on the Government of the People's Republic of China to undertake the actions called for in paragraph (3); and
to demonstrate commitment to Olympic athletes and their human rights, the International Olympic Committee should deny the ability of the People’s Republic of China to serve as an Olympic Games host nation or to bid to become a future Olympic Games host nation until the Government of the People’s Republic of China ceases its horrific abuses of internationally recognized human rights, including the genocide against the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, and undertakes the actions called for in paragraph (3).
