Forced labor. The Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act (H.R. 8124, introduced April 22 by Reps. Smith, R-N.J., and Suozzi, D-N.Y.) would expand the imposition of sanctions under the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020. A press release states that, among other things, this bill would prohibit U.S. government agencies from contracting with any business implicated in forced labor in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and expand sanctions authorities for Chinese Communist Party officials responsible for “the ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs.”
Supply chains. The House Energy and Commerce Committee reported April 26 the Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act (H.R. 6571, introduced by Reps. Bucshon, R-Ind., and Rochester, D-Del.), which would (1) establish a supply chain resiliency program within the Department of Commerce to map, monitor, and promote U.S. supply chains in critical industries and emerging technologies, (2) encourage private-public partnerships to promote resilient supply chains and respond to supply chain shocks among critical industries and emerging technologies, and (3) encourage the development and competitiveness of U.S. productive capacities and manufacturing in the U.S.
