Washington:
The United States led the globe in exposing the “horrific” rights abuses in Xinjiang province of China and imposed sanctions on the Chinese Communist Party’s officials, mentioned outgoing US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo.
Taking to Twitter, Pompeo on Saturday (neighborhood time) lauded America’s efforts in bringing up the Uyghur problem to the forefront, saying America halted imports of merchandise created with forced labour and gave Uyghur girls a platform to inform the globe about their households who had been disappeared by the Chinese Communist Party.
“We led the world in exposing the horrific abuses in Xinjiang. Imposed sanctions on CCP officials, halted imports of products made with forced labor, and so much more. When the world averts its eyes, America speaks up, and acts,” Pompeo tweeted.
“We also gave courageous Uyghur women a platform to tell the world about their families who were disappeared by the #CCP,” he added.

Under Trump administration, the United States spearheaded the campaign against the CCP for its human proper abuse in Xinjiang. In July final year, Pompeo mentioned that that it is time “for a new alliance of democracies” to counter Beijing’s aggressive policies.
China has been rebuked globally for cracking down on Uyghur Muslims by sending them to mass detention camps, interfering in their religious activities and sending members of the neighborhood to undergo some type of forcible re-education or indoctrination.
Beijing, on the other hand, has vehemently denied that it is engaged in human rights abuses against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang when reports from journalists, NGOs and former detainees have surfaced, highlighting the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal crackdown on the ethnic neighborhood, according to a report.
Recently, a commission of the United States Congress, in a new report, mentioned that China has possibly carried out “genocide” against Uyghurs and other minority Muslims in its western area of Xinjiang,
The report, released by The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), stated that the Chinese government and Communist Party have taken unprecedented actions to extend their repressive policies via censorship, intimidation, and the detention of persons in China for working out their basic human rights.
“Nowhere is this more evident than in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) where new evidence emerged that crimes against humanity–and possibly genocide–are occurring, and in Hong Kong, where the ””one country, two systems”” framework has been effectively dismantled,” study a report released on Thursday.
