Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the Chinese Government should establish a democratic society with a free and open political system that will protect the human rights of all people living within that country; and (2) the President and Secretary of State should communicate to the Chinese Government that official violence directed at demonstrators will have implications for U.S. relations with that country.
