To establish the China Censorship Monitor and Action Group, and for other purposes.

Bill 117 HR 3695, also known as the China Censorship Monitor and Action Group Act, is a proposed piece of legislation in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a group called the China Censorship Monitor and Action Group, which would be responsible for monitoring and addressing censorship and human rights violations in China.

The bill outlines the duties of this group, which include monitoring and reporting on censorship practices in China, advocating for the release of political prisoners and journalists, and working to promote freedom of speech and expression in the country. The group would also be tasked with coordinating with other government agencies and international organizations to address these issues.

In addition to establishing the China Censorship Monitor and Action Group, the bill also includes provisions for funding and staffing the group, as well as reporting requirements to Congress on its activities and findings. The bill does not specify a specific budget for the group, but it does authorize the appropriation of funds as necessary. Overall, the China Censorship Monitor and Action Group Act aims to address censorship and human rights violations in China through monitoring, advocacy, and coordination with other entities. It is a bipartisan effort to promote freedom of speech and expression in China and hold the government accountable for its actions.
