Blinken Meets With Genocide Perpetrator
When Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a press conference last week to announce that the State Department was releasing its 2023 country reports on human rights practices, he said the People's Republic of China was engaging in genocide in Xinjiang Province.
"The report documents atrocities reminiscent of humanity's darkest moments," Blinken said. "In Sudan, both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have committed war crimes. Rohingya in Burma, Uyghurs in Xinjiang -- each victims of genocide and crimes against humanity.
"The United States will continue to raise our deep concerns directly with the governments responsible," said Blinken.
Since 2020, every annual State Department report on human rights in China has unambiguously stated that the regime running this country was committing genocide.
"The People's Republic of China is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party is the paramount authority," said the 2020 report.
"Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang," it said.
The first sentence of the 2023 report the State Department released last week declared: "Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year in China against predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang."
The second sentence cited many other human rights abuses this communist regime had perpetrated. These included "arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; enforced disappearances by the government; torture by the government" and "involuntary or coercive medical or psychological practices."
The State Department report also said the government of the People's Republic of China was guilty of "arbitrary interference with privacy including pervasive and intrusive technical surveillance and monitoring" and "serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including criminal prosecution of journalists, lawyers, writers, bloggers, dissidents, petitioners, and others."
The report also said this communist regime continued to carry out a coercive population-control policy.
