The Congressional-Executive Commission on China holds a hearing on “Combating the CCP’s Historical Revisionism and Erasure of Culture” at 10 a.m. ET on Dec. 5.

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) engages in systematic efforts to curtail historical inquiry into subjects deemed ’sensitive,' such as the Tiananmen Massacre; control narratives regarding the history of the CCP; and erase the culture of repressed peoples, including Tibetans, Mongolians, and Uyghurs. Writers, artists, and independent historians are currently engaged in efforts to preserve history and language in the face of CCP repression.”
