The Commission has long listed China as a Country of Particular Concern with regard to violations of religious freedom and issued a set of recommendations to respond to those violations, but many of them, such as prohibiting U.S. companies doing business in China from engaging in practices that would constitute or facilitate violations of religious freedom or increasing radio broadcasts in the Uighur language, have gone unimplemented. The recommendations of the Commission should be reviewed by Congress and the Obama administration and a determination made as to which are most feasible and how they should be enacted.
