The Republican Study Committee, which includes 147 members of Congress, published a new national security strategy on June 10, aiming to “push back against the [Chinese Communist Party] and its efforts to undermine U.S. interests, remake the world order, and promote an alternative form of governance.” The 120-page document proposes various sanctions against high-level Chinese officials, including a blanket ban on studying at U.S. universities. The ban would cover members of the Politburo, the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and the 2,280-delegate National Congress. The ban would also extend to these officials’ children and spouses. The Republican Study Committee proposed mandating sanctions against the Party Secretary of the Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region Chen Quanguo, in addition to the Minister of Public Security, the TAR Party Secretary, and several Politburo members and senior officials responsible for Hong Kong. These officials would have their U.S. assets frozen and be banned from entering the United States.
