US and allies announce sanctions against Chinese officials for 'serious human rights abuses' against Uyghurs

 

This week I’ve an read article which was about newest sanctions that US announced against few Chinese state officials. The article was made by Nicole Gaouette and James Frater and can be found on CNN.

The whole fuss is about the human rights violations by Chinese against Uyghur Muslims who live in Xinjiang region. Their situation is very dramatic. According to reports they are locked up in camps, subjected to torture and sterilization. American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that PRC (People’s Republic of China) is still comitting the crimes against humanity. The US constantly renew their calls to Chinese to end repression of the Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities. The threat of sanctions came after a confrontation between the state secretary and Chinese officials. Antony Blinken also indicated that in the future will be talen  more radical steps with other countries on sanctions.    

In my opinion China had always problems with respecting human rights and this situation doesn’t surprise me at all. One thing that makes me interested in this topic is my observation dad somehow after Joe Biden had taken power in the U.S. policy towards China began to be more resolute for example: Taiwan problems. I didn’t expected that.

    So Trump wasn't so hard on China after all?
    Careful with how you use language! If you start with "The whole fuss is about ...", it sounds like the issue is unimportant, someone has blown it out of proportion and it shouldn't be treated seriously. This wasn't your intention, I guess.
