The Chinese regime will face consequences for its human rights abuses, President Joe Biden said, when asked about Beijing’s repression of Uyghur Muslims in the far-western region of Xinjiang during a televised event on Feb. 16.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), headed by Xi Jinping, has drawn international condemnation over its abuses in Xinjiang, where roughly a million Uyghur and other Muslim-practicing minorities are being detained inside concentration camps. Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo designated China’s abuses there as a genocide.
“Well, there will be repercussions for China, and he [Xi] knows that,” Biden said at a CNN Town Hall event held in Milwaukee.
He said the United States would reassert its role in speaking up for human rights at the United Nations and other fora.
“China is trying very hard to become the world leader and to get that moniker,” Biden said. “And to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries. And as long as they’re engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s going to be hard for them to do that.”
The president said he raised the issue of human rights during his two-hour phone call with Xi last week.
He also relayed the Chinese leader’s justification for the CCP’s repression.
“If you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been—the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven’t been unified at home,” Biden said. “So the central—to vastly overstate it—the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China. And he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.”

This is a smoke screen for China Joe to distance himself from his perceived handlers.
The “consequences” will most likely be more extortion fees payable to Hunter Biden......or else !
Master Xi would just laugh.
But he said it was a cultural difference?!
> “The president said he raised the issue of human rights during his two-hour phone call with Xi last week.”
***The President***, yeah, right.
> “He also relayed the Chinese leader’s justification for the CCP’s repression.”
***The President*** ‘relayed’ ‘justification’ for what is reported as genocide. Yeah, right.

Words fail me.
What he means is that his cost for future bribes just tripled.
Not from the US or the UN.
From God for sure.
Bidet wants “unity” using censorship and military force.
Xi wants “unity” using censorship and military force.
There are no “cultural differences”.
Yep! Harris will only hand over Formosa, Vietnam, & the Philippines...
She WILL NOT hand over Hawaii yet...
Harris plays hardball... Although playing with balls is her main area of experience...
“... is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China. And he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.”
We all know what Biden means when he calls for “unity” in America. Here it is in black and white.
“This is a smoke screen for China Joe to distance himself from his perceived handlers.”
Biden was very open about that in this “interview” - that Xi knows Biden has to say things critical of China’s human rights abuses because it’s a cultural norm in the U.S.
It’s theater in other words.
This only magnifies the absurdity of Asterisk’s weak and mendacious subservience to the CCP. Hypocrisy is something this idiot does not either recognize or understand. But we do.
China O’Biden won’t do jack shit.
Exactly,
No doubt Chairman Biden was given a list of acceptable “get tough” verbiage for domestic consumption, same thing with any Iran actions,
Expect the same from the gutless turtle,
Watch what they do, not what they say,
Another Uighur thread. The Repercussions are that Joe will speak out, as he did here.
Whenever I read about the Uighurs I think of these guys.
Captured in Afghanistan they spent a couple years at Gitmo. GWB wouldn't send them back to China, so they ended up in Bermuda. A lot better off than they bretheren.
“Biden Says Chinese Regime Will Face Repercussions for Its Human Rights Abuses”
Until they show him the evidence they have on his and Hunter’s sweet Chinese deals.
there must be a united, tightly controlled China
there must be a united, tightly controlled USA
Birds of a feather!
