Will The United States Sanction China Over Uighur Muslims – Free PDF

UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN

CHINA’S CASE

• Since China was called a country of particular concern by USCIRF, it was inevitable that a U.S congressman would table a bill calling for sanctions to be imposed on China because of religious discrimination

WHAT HAPPENED IN MAY 2020

• The S. Senate gave unanimous consent to legislation that would impose sanctions on Chinese officials over human rights abuses against Muslim minorities, an action sure to anger Beijing as anti-China sentiment rises in Congress.

SENATE IS PART OF THE U.S CONGRESS

TRUMP’S TABLE

• The bill, introduced by Senator Marco Rubio, would condemn the internment of more than 1 million Uighurs and members of other Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang region of China and calls for closing the camps where they are being held.
• It would require President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on and revoke the visas of any officials found to be responsible for the oppression of the Uighurs.

CHINESE REACTION

NOT THE FIRST TIME U.S SANCTIONED CHINA IN RECENT TIMES
