Sets U.S. policy to avoid cooperation with China on organ transplantation while the Chinese Communist Party remains in power, press to end state‑run organ harvesting, and work with allies to expose persecution of Falun Gong and coordinate targeted sanctions and visa bans.
Requires mandatory sanctions on foreign persons who knowingly and directly engage in or facilitate involuntary organ harvesting in China, including asset freezes and visa/entry bans, with limited national security and humanitarian exceptions and waiver reporting. Orders a detailed State Department report (with HHS/NIH) on China’s transplant system within one year. Clarifies that the bill’s sanctions do not include import bans on goods. Sanction authority sunsets after five years.
