Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the U.S. will speak out forcefully against China committing “genocide” against the Uyghur Muslims in its Xinjiang Province, as several lawmakers expressed concerns about the deteriorating human rights situation in the communist nation, ahead of the first face-to-face meeting of top American and Chinese officials next week since President Joe Biden took office.
The White House and State Department said on March 10 that Mr. Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan will see China’s top foreign policy officials, the foreign affairs chief of the ruling Communist Party of China, Yang Jiechi, and State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on March 18 in Anchorage, Alaska.
