The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) is an international, cross-party alliance of parliamentarians from democratic countries focused on relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC), and specifically, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1][2][3][4] It was established on June 4, 2020, on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[5][6][7][8] The alliance comprises over 240 members from 27 legislatures and the European Parliament.[9][10][11] Each legislature represented takes turns to chair the alliance on a rotating basis. Its purpose is to create a coordinated response to China on global trade, security and human rights.[12]
