At a time when members of the United States Congress say they want to be tougher on China and bring human rights to the forefront of the relationship, President-elect Joe Biden can do a lot on this record.
A report in Foreign Policy magazine indicated that the Biden administration must pressure Congress if it wants strict legislation to deal with human rights violations in China.
The report reviewed the Biden administration’s options for dealing with China between trade relations and the record of human rights violations in Beijing. Biden has ample room to move on the Chinese docket even without relying on Congress, by ordering the National Security Ministry to crack down on new imports from Xinjiang. In addition to the trend of consulates to accelerate visa applications in Hong Kong for refugees, as well as to highlight the role of human rights on the sidelines of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Hundreds of Uighurs died, while the communist regime keeps thousands of them in camps for the Muslim minority in Xinjiang, in the far west of China, whose number is estimated at about 13 million people (according to Human Rights Watch).
The Chinese government has repeatedly denied the accusations, calling them an attempt to discredit the country, and said that these camps are education and vocational training centers that are part of measures to combat terrorism and eliminate militancy.
Many members of Congress expressed their horror at the forced detention in China and the labor camps of Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.
The Democratic candidate’s campaign, he said in a statement, was that the Chinese government’s crackdown on Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang was “genocide” and Biden “strongly opposes this.”
