Various Agencies of the U.S. government are obliged by law to provide Parliament with regular progress reports on the situation of Uighurs in China’s North-Western Xinjiang province.
The Republican Congressman Chris Smith called China’s action in the “modern concentration camps” in Xinjiang as a “bold reduction”, which “includes the Mass internment of millions on a scale not seen since the Holocaust. We can not remain silent. We must demand an end to this barbaric practice,” said Smith, adding that Chinese officials needed to be pulled for “crimes against humanity” to justice.
China indignant
The new act requires the closure of mass prison camps in the North-Western Region of Xinjiang, and includes, for the first time, the invitation to Trump, to impose sanctions against a member of the Chinese Politburo: The Secretary of the Communist party in Xinjiang, Chen Quanguo, for the conditions in the prison camps to be responsible, it said.
China protested sharp projects against the law. Spokeswoman Hua Chunying aussenamt said on Wednesday in Beijing of an “interference in internal Affairs”. The plans vilified China’s efforts in the fight against terrorism. In the affected Region of Xinjiang, it is not about human rights or Religion, but to the fight against terrorism and separatism.

The plans, revealed only that the United States invest in the fight against terrorism “two Mass”. The Chinese people see this “the hypocrisy and the evil intentions” of the American side, only clearer.

Trump could Veto the law, could be overruled by Congress with a two-thirds majority. The White house has not expressed initially as to whether Trump would use the law to sign or Veto it.
impact on trade dispute?
just last week, Trump had signed a Congress-initiated legislation to strengthen the Pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. China reacted angrily and threatened counter-measures. Experts believe that the new tensions also complicate economies, the conclusion of a trade agreement between the two largest economies.
The US government estimates that around a Million Uyghurs are detained against their will, mostly in internment camps. Human rights activists speak of re-education camps, in which Uighurs with sometimes brutal means, on the line of the Communist party should be China’s sworn in.
