US Says China's Treatment of
Uighur Muslims Is 'Genocide'.
The U.S. State Department declared its
assessment on Tuesday, a day before
President-elect Joe Biden will take office as president.
The President-elect also referred to the
treatment of Uighur Muslims as genocide in 2020.
As defined by the United Nations,
genocide amounts to an "intent to destroy, in whole or
in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” .
I believe this genocide is ongoing, and that we are witnessing the systematic attempt to destroy Uighurs by the Chinese party-state, Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State,
via 'The New York Times'.
Pompeo described Chinese officials as being “engaged
in the forced assimilation and eventual erasure of a
vulnerable ethnic and religious minority group.”.
Uighur Muslims live in the
northwestern region of China called Xinjiang.
It is estimated that perhaps more than
one million Uighur Muslims have been forced
into internment camps for "re-education.".
Uighur Muslims and other minority Muslims
in the region are also thought to have
been subjected to forced sterilization.
China officials responded to
the U.S. assessment of genocide.
This utterly untethered fabrication of
‘genocide’ regarding Xinjiang is
the conspiracy of the century, Xu Guixiang, Deputy Director of Propaganda Xinjiang, via 'The New York Times'
