In 2019, Congressman Suozzi was appointed by the Speaker of the House to the prestigious Congressional-Executive Commission on China. As a member of the Commission, Suozzi helped write bills that will allow the United States government to put additional pressure on the Chinese government's inhumane policy of holding more than 1 million Uighur Muslims in detention camps.

As a member of the Commission, Suozzi has helped write bills that would hold the Chinese government responsible for holding more than 1 million Uighur Muslims in detention camps. He also helped write the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act which declared that the Chinese government must respect the autonomy of Hong Kong.

Suozzi has also used his voice as a Member of Congress to advocate for people around the world who have faced persecution for simply practicing their faith. From the persecution of Muslims in China to anti-Semitism here in the United States, and even closer to home on Long Island, Suozzi will do all in his power to help those who wish to practice their faith without fear of oppression and mistreatment.
