China attacked a report issued by the UN rights office (OHCHR) on alleged abuses in Xinjiang on Tuesday (Sep 13) and read out a statement backed by around 20 other countries criticising the UN body for releasing it and saying it had no right to do so.

But initial support for Beijing's so-called joint statement at the UN Human Rights Council was thinner than some observers had expected - a fact that might embolden China's critics.

The Aug 31 report, which China had asked the UN not to publish, stipulated that "serious human rights violations have been committed" and said the detention of Uyghurs and other Muslims in China's Xinjiang region may constitute crimes against humanity. China vigorously denies any abuse.

Ironic because Islam is comfortable with slavery. Of course as God's gift to the Universe Moslems are supposed to be the masters , not the other way around.

Totally off-topic.. but the Chinese Li just got his @55 handed to him on UFC. Not a single hit on his Swedish opponent, nad the Swedish guy had him TKO with a rear naked choke in the first round..

I was cheering :^D

This is what I meant by “China won’t support Turkey”.

Turkey sees itself as the leader of the Turkic peoples - and that includes Uyghurs.

While the Saudis, Pakistanis, Egyptians and even Iranians are quiet about China’s persecution of Uyghurs, the Turks are NOT quiet.
