Biden Says Chinese Regime Will Face Repercussions for Its Human Rights Abuses
Epoch Times ^ | 02/17/2021 | Cathy He

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.”

I am sure that he will “condemn them in the strongest possible terms.” He will also double dog dare them.

Oh, what is he going to do? Send them a strongly worded memo — like the UN does?

Or, stamp his liddle feets and hold his breathe?

Gawd, this is already worse than Hussein.

So long as he and his family (and many in Congress) continue to receive their cut absolutely nothing will be done to curtail the CCP that the CCP doesn’t approve ahead of time.

Didn’t Biden say that Putting the uighurs in concentration camps was no concern because it is just normal Chinese cultural practice?
