US Secretary of State Criticism of Chinese Uyghur Policy at the United Nations September 23, 15:29
US Secretary of State Pompeio held a meeting with foreign ministers in Central Asia at the United Nations General Assembly and criticized China's policy against the Uyghurs as “trying to erase the culture”. The United States will work with other countries at the United Nations General Assembly to increase pressure on China, and the US-China confrontation is likely to deepen further.
Secretary of State Pompeio held a meeting with foreign ministers in five Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan adjacent to China in New York on the 22nd.
In this, he strongly criticized China's policy on the Uyghurs: “Chinese repression is not an anti-terrorism measure but an attempt to erase their own beliefs and cultures”.
He called for cooperation, stating that China is asking for the repatriation of Uyghurs who have fled to other countries such as Central Asia.
The United States wants to raise the pressure on China by raising this issue to the representatives of each country in line with the United Nations General Assembly.
China, on the other hand, justifies the facility that houses a large number of Uyghurs as a place for vocational training to prevent terrorism against poverty and unemployment.
The Chinese government issued a white paper on human rights on the 22nd, stating that “China's human rights efforts have developed greatly in the 70 years since its founding”, and the conflict between the United States and China is likely to deepen in human rights issues.
