Seems overdue. If we’re going to condemn the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese party-state, isn’t the top dog in that system, who has been working to make it worse, also deserving of condemnation? This is what U.S. Senators have realized (The Epoch Times, June 18, 2026).
The U.S. Senate unanimously approved on June 16 by voice vote a resolution (Senate Resolution 444) condemning Xi for “deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity.”
The resolution also encourages the U.S. government and its agencies to use all available tools—including the authorities under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which allow sanctions against individuals responsible for serious human rights violations or corruption—to hold Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials accountable.
The vote came just a day after Xi’s 73rd birthday.
“There is no greater threat to America’s way of life, peace, and prosperity in the world than Xi Jinping and the CCP,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who introduced the resolution earlier this month, told the Senate before the vote. “Xi Jinping hates us. Communist China wants to destroy us. He is not a partner. He is not a competitor. He is a brutal dictator leading a criminal organization that lies, cheats, steals, exploits slave labor, and commits genocide and crimes against humanity on an industrial scale.”
According to the resolution, the Senate “condemns the dictator of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, for engaging in a pattern of deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity; stands in solidarity with the people of the People’s Republic of China, and all people around the world who have endured the consequences of rule by the Chinese Communist Party; and encourages the application of all applicable sanctions authorities against officials of the Chinese Communist Party, including sanctions authorized by the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.”
Despite a few debatable entries and a few regrettable omissions, the list of 33 indictments in the “Whereas” section of the resolution is an instructive summary of much of the CCP’s evildoing. The discussion ranges from cyberattacks and harassment of Taiwan and the Philippines to religious persecution and genocide.
