Chinese government officials responsible for religious freedom abuses—including arbitrary detention, forced sterilization, torture, and forced labor against Protestant Christians, Catholics, Buddhists, Muslims, and Falun Gong practitioners—may face sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act

State Department bureaus, including the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, should support programs promoting international religious freedom in China and monitor transnational repression of religious minorities

China should remain designated as a "country of particular concern" for religious freedom under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 as long as severe violations continue

U.S. should call on China to unconditionally release all unjustly detained religious and political prisoners and ensure detainees have access to family, legal counsel, independent medical care, and the ability to practice their faith while detained

U.S. should strengthen diplomacy on religious freedom, raise prisoner cases at the highest levels with Chinese officials, and engage international partners to combat religious freedom abuses
