Fighting China’s egregious violations of human rights – including the imprisonment of up to 3 million Muslims in concentration camps – is “what we do, and who we are,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said of America Wednesday at a speech before the Vatican.
Pompeo said the “stakes are even higher” for human dignity than during the Cold War and that nations confronting China for its use of concentration camps to eliminate ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims are “following the wisdom of Jesus.”
Pompeo was speaking at a symposium at the Holy See dedicated to defending religious freedom and human dignity. Washington and the Vatican are celebrating 35 years of diplomatic ties.
His remarks also condemned human rights violations against religious people in Cuba, Syria, and Iran.
Survivors of the estimated thousands of concentration camps in Xinjiang, China’s westernmost state, have testified to the Communist Party using Uighurs and other minorities as slaves, harvesting their organs to sell on the black market, torturing them, and forcing them to worship dictator Xi Jinping. The Chinese regime insists that the camps are “vocational centers” where wayward Muslims vulnerable to jihadist indoctrination learn job skills that keep them from becoming terrorists.
Pompeo opened his speech with the story of Zumrat Dawat, a Uighur woman who survived a Xinjiang concentration camp, saved because her husband, a Pakistani national, made the case an international one. Dawat testified to the horrors she experienced at the camp in New York last week, at a religious freedom event hosted alongside events at the United Nations General Assembly.

That’s in our future if the Rats and commies ever get total control. Come quickly Jesus!
“following the wisdom of Jesus.”
Something the ImPopester is unfamiliar with.
The last thing I want to hear is a US official waxing on about our moral duty in the world.
It is either US interest, or it is not.
The Uighers in the so-called camp would behead every last follower of Jesus. Pass.
Everyone sure is fast to jump in to defend moslems in China. Seems like a smart idea to outlaw and deprogram islam out of Chinese society to me.
Worrying about the religious freedom of China’s moslems is way low on my worry list.
Secretary of State, blathering on in the Vatican, about the woes of Chinese moslems.... Because THAT is the most pressing duty of the Sec of State at the moment.
“The last thing I want to hear is a US official waxing on about our moral duty in the world.“
You and me both.
L
I have no argument against anyone doing good, ever.
Going after the Communist Chinese while others on the left are bending over backwards not to offend them so they can make money. hmmmmm.
I like this man alot!
But helping KSA to genocide Yemenis is okay by God’s Gatekeeper, Pompeo?
What a crock.
Hummmm....commies vs. Muzzies. I think I will just kick back and enjoy some popcorn.
