Pompeo: China’s ‘Orwellian’ Oppression of Muslims,
Christians Reaches ‘Historic Proportions’ < >
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo repudiated the crackdown on religious freedom in China at the hands of communist leader Xi Jinping in remarks Tuesday and Wednesday, stressing that persecution of Muslims and Christians has reached “historic proportions.”
On Tuesday, Pompeo told a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee:
We’ve been working on this [promoting religious freedom] all across the world. We’ve been speaking out recently about the challenges in China to religious freedom — not just the [predominantly Muslim] Uyghurs [or Uighurs] but even more broadly than that. The absence of religious freedom there is of historic proportions.
[China] is in a league of its own [when it comes to human rights violations]. The [oppression] work that began in Tibet is now being perfected in [Uighur-majority] Xinjiang [province] is Orwellian in nature. Our efforts are diplomatic that is we identify this as something the Chinese can’t continue to do.
