Honoring the Victims of Communist China’s Tyranny Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State to build a memorial in International Park in Northwest Washington, D.C., within 2 years after the bill becomes law. The memorial would honor victims of genocide and crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese Communist Party and people persecuted in China for their political or religious beliefs. Where practicable, it would include inscriptions and artwork about topics such as the treatment of Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Southern Mongolians, and the imprisonment of democracy advocates and journalists. Federal spending on design and construction would be capped at $500,000 from existing State Department funds, and the Secretary could accept private donations, which would not count toward the cap.
