WASHINGTON - China reacted angrily to President Donald Trump’s approval of legislation supporting Hong Kong protesters last month, but movement on another congressional bill, backing Uighur Muslims in China’s northwest, has cut even closer to the bone and could trigger reprisals and hurt efforts to resolve the U.S.-China trade war.U.S.
Senior members of both Congress and the Trump administration have sounded the alarm on China’s detention of at least a million Uighur Muslims, by U.N. estimates, in the northwestern region of Xinjiang as a grave abuse of human rights and religious freedom. China rejects the charges. Victor Shih, an associate professor of China and Pacific Relations at the University of California, San Diego, said mass surveillance was big business in China and a number of tech companies there could be hurt by the law if it passes.
In editorials on Thursday, Chinese official media called for harsh reprisals in response to bill. [L8N28F02P] China’s envoy to the United States, Cui Tiankai, said on Wednesday the two countries were trying to resolve their differences over trade, but “destructive forces” were trying to drive a wedge between them.
