TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Fount Media, an online media outlet, carried an article written by senior journalist Yang Hsien-hung (楊憲宏) criticizing a pro-China organization in the U.S. that has defended China’s hideous behavior.
The article points out that while U.S. Congress members were motioning to take up H.R.649, or Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019, the organization accepted China’s defence and opined that China adopted oppressive measures to control the area because over the years more than 1,200 explosions had happened in the area where the Uyghur live.
The bill was introduced to condemn gross human rights violations of ethnic Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang, and calls for an end to arbitrary detention, torture, and harassment of these communities inside and outside China.
The bill would require the U.S. government to come up with remedy measures, even allowing actions affecting U.S.-China trade as steps to counteract China’s oppression in the region [FULL STORY]
