To hold accountable senior officials of the Government of the People's Republic of China who are responsible for or have directly carried out, at any time, persecution of Christians or other religious minorities in China, and for other purposes.

Combating the Persecution of Religious Groups in China Act

This bill expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should promote religious freedom in China and makes statements of policy related to such freedom. In particular, the bill states that it is U.S. policy to consider senior Chinese government officials who are responsible for the persecution of Christians or other religious minorities in China to have committed (1) a gross violation of internationally recognized human rights for the purpose of imposing certain sanctions, and (2) a particularly severe violation of religious freedom for the purpose of determining whether such an individual is admissible into the United States.

Bill 117 hr 4821, also known as the "China Persecution Accountability Act," aims to hold senior officials of the Government of the People's Republic of China accountable for their role in persecuting Christians and other religious minorities in China. The bill specifically targets officials who have directly carried out or are responsible for the persecution of these groups.

The bill seeks to impose sanctions on these officials, including visa bans and asset freezes, in order to deter further persecution and human rights abuses. Additionally, the bill calls for the United States to work with international partners to address the issue of religious persecution in China and to advocate for the protection of religious freedom.

Overall, the goal of Bill 117 hr 4821 is to hold Chinese officials accountable for their actions and to promote religious freedom and human rights in China.
