1. Short title This Act may be cited as the True Reciprocity Act of 2023 . 2. Reciprocity in the relationship between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) In a number of areas, the relationship between the United States and the People’s Republic of China is unacceptably nonreciprocal. (2) The imbalance in the relationship creates avenues of influence for the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party in the United States that the United States does not enjoy in the People’s Republic of China. (3) Diplomats, Members of Congress, and other officials of the United States are highly restricted with respect to where they can travel and with whom they can meet in the People’s Republic of China. (4) The Government of the United States requires diplomats of the People’s Republic of China to notify the Department of State of some travel and meeting plans, and the Government of the United States requires such diplomats to obtain approval from the Department of State for some travel within the United States. However, when such approval is required, it is almost always granted expeditiously, and access and interactions are unimpeded. (5) Diplomats of the People’s Republic of China based in the United States generally avail themselves of the freedom to travel within the United States and lobby city councils, mayors, State legislators, and Governors to support initiatives of the People’s Republic of China and refrain from passing resolutions, issuing proclamations, or making statements critical of the Government of the People’s Republic of China. (6) According to the Integrated Country Strategy of the Department of State on the People’s Republic of China (approved May 3, 2022, and updated February 2, 2023), Local [PRC] law enforcement and security services frequently employ extrajudicial means against U.S. citizens without regard to international norms, including the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and the 1980 U.S.-China Bilateral
