Summary

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that, by cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) failed to adhere to its own human rights commitments and protect the free speech of Olympic athletes. The resolution also expresses that, in an effort to regain lost public confidence, the IOC should call on the Chinese Communist Party to (1) open an independent and transparent investigation into the allegations of Peng Shuai; (2) publicly commit to holding sexual violence abusers accountable; (3) cease all censorship of reporting and discussions of Peng's case; and (4) allow Peng to leave China if she so desires, and not retaliate against her family members who remain in China.
