A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that at the upcoming United States-China summit the President should demand the release of all persons remaining imprisoned in China and Tibet for political or religious reasons, and for other purposes.

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) in the upcoming, proposed summit between President Clinton and President Jiang Zemin of China, President Clinton should demand the release of all persons remaining imprisoned in China and Tibet for political or religious reasons; (2) the President should report to the Congress such summit concerning his progress in securing their release and should not offer to lift sanctions imposed on China after the 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square; (3) the release of one prisoner into exile does not change the fundamental flaws within the Chinese judicial and penal system; and (4) the U.S. policy of granting concessions to the Chinese Government in exchange for the release of high profile prisoners is an offense to the thousands of dissidents remaining in prison.
