RESOLUTION
Remembering, on the 105th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party,
the countless lives the Chinese Communist Party has destroyed and the
people currently living in fear of its tyrannical ambitions.
Whereas, in 2026, the Chinese Communist Party observes its 105th anniversary of
coming to power;
Whereas untold millions of Chinese citizens became casualties of the Chinese
Communist Party's quest for power, enduring severe loss and suffering in
what amounts to humanity's worst atrocities since World War II;
Whereas, during the Yan'an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945, more than
10,000 people were killed as the Chinese Community Party attempted to
attack and replace intellectuals with people who supported the Communist
ideology;
Whereas, during the Chinese Land Reform of 1949 to 1953, an estimated 4,700,000
landowners were murdered in order to redistribute land to peasantry;
Whereas, during the Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries from 1950 to
1952, an estimated 712,000 people were executed for their political
views and 1,300,000 more were sentenced to ``labor reform'';
Whereas, during the Three-anti Campaign in 1951 and the Five-anti Campaign in
1952, Mao Zedong humiliated, terrorized, exiled, imprisoned, and killed
thousands of political opponents and capitalists, weakening the
economies of the major urban centers of China;
Whereas, during the Sufan Movement from 1955 to 1957, the Chinese Communist
Party carried out a purge of hidden counterrevolutionaries, arresting an
estimated 214,000 people and executing approximately 53,000 people;
Whereas, during the Anti-Rightist Campaign from 1957 to 1959, approximately
550,000 people suffered exile, imprisonment, and execution as Mao Zedong
conducted a purge of ``rightists,'' credited for creating the modern
one-party state of China;
Whereas, during the Great Chinese Famine from 1959 to 1961, an estimated
30,000,000 people died as a result of the policy of the Chinese
Communist Party, which prioritized industrialization over agriculture,
remembered today as one of the greatest man-made disasters in human
history;
Whereas, during the Socialist Education Movement from 1963 to 1965, an estimated
5,000,000 people were persecuted and 77,560 were executed for their
political beliefs;
Whereas, during the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4, 1989, an estimated
10,000 protestors were arrested or killed by the People's Liberation
Army after the Chinese Communist Party declared martial law;
Whereas, in 1991, the Chinese Communist Party launched a nationwide crackdown on
Fulan Gong practitioners, with millions subjected to persecution,
arbitrary detention, torture, forced organ harvesting, or death;
Whereas, since the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong in 1997, the Chinese
Communist Party has increasingly undermined the autonomy and judicial
independence of Hong Kong, resulting in a series of deadly protests and
demonstrations;
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party continues its longstanding campaign to
destroy all independent religious expression in the China by broadly
targeting religious leaders with insidious tools of repression and
launching a massive crackdown against Protestant Christian house
churches;
Whereas an estimated 1,000,000 Uighur Muslims are subject to mass detention and
torture, including electric shock, waterboarding, beatings, rape, forced
sterilization, forced prostitution, stress positions, forced
administration of unknown medication, cold cells, and organ harvesting
in re-education camps in the Xinjiang province of China;
Whereas an estimated 150,000 Tibetan Buddhists live in exile in India and Nepal,
62 years after their leader, the Dalai Lama, sought refuge from a
Chinese uprising in Tibet;
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party spends billions of dollars annually to
either control or exterminate people of all faiths;
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party continues to harass, surveil, threaten
family members of, and pursue the deportation of religious minorities
and dissidents living outside China as part of its transnational
repression efforts, including through high-tech and emerging
technologies; and
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party exerts increasing political, military,
economic, and social pressure on Taiwan in order to undermine Taiwan's
freedom and independence: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That, on the 105th anniversary of the Chinese Communist
Party, the Senate solemnly remembers the countless lives the Chinese
Communist Party has destroyed and the people currently living in fear
of its tyrannical ambitions.
