That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) the global outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (commonly referred to as COVID–19 ) is a direct result of the People’s Republic of China’s long and appalling record of human rights abuses, including its suppression of the freedom of expression, as well as its aggressive domestic and global propaganda campaign; (2) the People’s Republic of China should be held accountable for its handling of the COVID–19; and (3) the United States and other countries should permanently withhold payments on debts owed to the People’s Republic of China in amounts equal to the public costs incurred by such countries relating to COVID–19.
