The House passed a bipartisan bill Wednesday evening to impose sanctions on people engaged in forced organ harvesting or human trafficking for the purpose of organ harvesting, explicitly targeting China for its inhumane practices against ethnic and religious minorities.

The Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2025, which was considered among a flurry of other bills from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in floor debates on Monday in the context of relations with China, passed on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis, 406-1. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the sole “no” vote.
