The global response to “genocide” of Muslim minorities in China, explained

This appeared in The Millennial Source

The US State Department has estimated that more than two million Chinese Muslims have been detained in “re-education camps.” Detainees at the camps have stated that they have been subjected to physical and emotional abuse, forced sterilization, ideological indoctrination and other abuses.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is a “doomsday clown” according to Hua Chunying, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman. That label was in response to the United States’ declaration that China’s treatment of Muslim minority groups in the country constituted genocide.

Hua said of Pompeo that “This American politician, who is notorious for lying and deceiving, is turning himself into a doomsday clown and joke of the century with his last madness and lies of the century.”

This was the final bout of the contentious relationship between the administrations of US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Beijing is notoriously sensitive when it comes to accusations of human rights abuse and has insisted that its policies in Xinjiang are vocational and designed to extinguish the potential for Islamic terrorism from its Muslim minority.
