US nominee for ambassador to China Burns says Xinjiang ‘genocide’ must stop | Malay Mail

WASHINGTON, Oct 20 — Nicholas Burns, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be US ambassador to China, said today that China’s “genocide in Xinjiang,” abuses in Tibet and bullying of Taiwan must stop.

Human rights advocates have termed China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims in its Xinjiang region “genocide,” a characterisation that China rejects.
