Bezeklik, Cave 9, wall painting, ca. 9th/10th century AD Nury Turkel, @nuryturkel, co-founder of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a commissioner of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and Gordon Chang, @GordonGChang, Daily Beast, in re: PRC persecution of Uyghurs: a Reuters report—Anthony Blinken said he believed Trump was right in taking a tougher stand toward China, and agreed that China is committing genocide. The cruelty by the Chinese conquerors to Uyghurs. Nearly a half-million Uyghur children have been taken by the Chinese state and put in orphanages. Atrocities. Genocide. Beijing is enraged — showing that the statement is having a good effect in the world. The [world community] has been silent; unconscionable—especially those in Europe who survived genocide and the Holocaust. The UN has miserably failed to fulfill its mandate to protect human rights. Not a syllable from Guterres. Particularly those in the UN human rights council should convene an emergency session. The UN seems to be compromised by China. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-biden-state-china/u-s-secretary-of-state-nominee-blinken-sees-strong-foundation-for-bipartisan-china-policy-idUSKBN29O2GB
