SHANGHAI - Chinese official media excoriated the United States and called for harsh reprisals in editorials on Thursday after the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation requiring a stronger response to Beijing’s treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority.
A front-page editorial in the ruling Communist Party’s People’s Daily newspaper said the passage of the U.S. legislation “harbors evil intent and is extremely sinister”.By a vote of 407 to 1, the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday approved the Uighur bill, which would require the Trump administration to toughen its response to China’s crackdown in Xinjiang, a region in China’s far west.
U.N. experts and activists say China has detained possibly one million Uighurs in mass detention camps in Xinjiang. “It seems an odds-on bet that more can be expected if the latest approval for State Department meddling goes into the statute books,” it said. Official commentary also took aim at the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, recently signed into law by Trump.
