Breaking news from London: The UK govt has condemned Chinese treatment of Uyghurs as barbarous; internment camps, political re-education, forced abortions, Campbell soups, cotton products, many items from China, are from slave labor in Xinjiang , Jake Sullivan calls on Europeans to “think twice” before entering into agreements with China. Sometimes calling matters out is as important as policy responses. Stark contrast to EU: the just-signed investment agreement [thanks to Angela Merkel]. Euros seem not to grasp the threat, to understand products made by Uyghur slaves. They know exactly how it is when a regime targets an ethnic religious minority; Germany not being clear on this is mind-boggling. Uyghur women being “emancipated” by the Chinese abuse. It’s preposterous, even letting China speak in such an ugly way about Uyghur women’s reproduction. Hugely offensive. China sees them as “baby-making machines.” Beijing thinks it can get away with this; the intl community does nothing. UK and Australia have taken positions on this. Tony Blinken should spend a little time on this. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55608089 https://news.sky.com/story/uighur-muslims-new-measures-by-uk-to-tackle-china-human-rights-violations-12185976
