US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday met Uyghur survivors of internment camps in China's Xinjiang region, in a visit aimed at highlighting Beijing's alleged "genocide" against the Muslim minority group. America's top diplomat met seven survivors, advocates and relatives of people still detained in Xinjiang, State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a readout of the meeting. The meeting's purpose was to help show US commitment to "calling for an end to the People's Republic of China's ongoing crimes against humanity and genocide against Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang", Price said. "The United States will continue to place human rights at the forefront of our China policy and will always support the voices of activists, survivors, and family members of victims who courageously speak out against these atrocities."More Related News
