Senators Scott and Moolenaar urge Commerce Department to blacklist China’s Institute of Forensic Science for human rights abuses.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Rick Scott and House Chairman John Moolenaar have called on the U.S. Department of Commerce to re-add China's Ministry of Public Security's Institute of Forensic Science (IFS) to its Entity List. They argue this move is necessary for national security, given the IFS's role in surveillance and human rights abuses against minorities in China.
The request follows their introduction of the "Confronting CCP Human Rights Abusers Act." This act aims to restrict exports of sensitive technologies to the IFS, reversing a previous Biden administration decision to remove the entity from the list, which they claim occurred without sufficient evidence of improved practices by the IFS.
In their communication, Scott and Moolenaar emphasized the importance of protecting American values and insisted that allowing U.S. technology to assist the CCP could further enable oppression and human rights violations.
