                               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.
