A government religious freedom watchdog is urging the Biden administration to take more actions to address the Chinese regime’s malign influence in the United States.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a bipartisan federal agency, released a policy update report on Jan. 5 that covers a wide range of topics related to China’s human rights abuses, particularly U.S. government policies on technology and religious freedom. One key focus of the report is China’s political influence and transnational repression, particularly in the United States.
