PelosiIn an interview with the English-language “Epoch Times” on the 18th, he said, “Since the Tiananmen Incident (June 4th Incident), I have been engaged in Chinahuman rightsI have been working for more than 30 years. It is very important for the world to understand that human rights are part of our value system. “
She said that better protection of human rights around the world is also related to the national security of the United States, the US military and the strength of the United States, and the US economy.

She added: “No matter what form it takes, I hope it (the approach) will change China (Chinese Communist Party) Certain acts against Hong Kong, Tibet, and Uyghurs. “
Beijing’s suppression of Uyghurs through strict surveillance and forced detention has aroused condemnation from the international community. The Trump administration imposed sanctions on entities and individuals who committed atrocities in Xinjiang. At the same time, due to the CCP’s forced labor, the Trump administration also banned the import of all cotton and tomato products in Xinjiang.
Pelosi said that she was confessed by the U.S. government that the CCP had committed crimes against Uighurs.GenocideFeel “proud” because this move sends a strong message to the CCP. This is a “strong statement” for those who have been detained and persecuted by the CCP without any charges.
She said, “It is important for us to speak out loud so that those people know that they have not been forgotten.”
Pelosi also mentioned that the protection of human rights in China is a bipartisan issue; many Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Chris Smith and retired Rep. Frank Wolf, have worked all over the world. What we have done in terms of human rights is outstanding.
“They took the risk, they went to the prison labor camp to collect evidence so that we could do our thing here.” Pelosi said.
On the 18th, the US House of Representatives reintroduced a bipartisan bill that would prohibit the import of goods from China’s Xinjiang region unless it can be proven that these goods are not produced using forced labor and allow further sanctions against CCP officials who violent Xinjiang Muslims.
In addition, Biden mentioned the CCP’s human rights violations at a civic meeting hosted by CNN on the 16th. He said that the United States will reiterate its role in safeguarding human rights in the United Nations and other agencies.
He said that he and Xi Jinping mentioned China’s actions in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, as well as the Taiwan issue. But Biden went on to say: “From a cultural perspective, every country has different norms, and they want their leaders to abide by the relevant norms.”
Biden’s remarks were immediately criticized by conservatives and human rights activists, who believed that he was spreading CCP propaganda to defend the CCP’s violation of human rights and genocide.
Former secretary of statePompeoIn an interview with Fox News on February 17, he responded to Biden’s conversation. He said that this kind of discourse that thinks is just a set of “different norms” is the CCP’s propaganda line. “It hopes you think this is just a quiet The country and the system may be a little different”, but the truth of the matter is that they are trying to destroy the entire nation.
Biden then continued to emphasize China’s human rights issues in TV interviews. He said that China (the CCP) is trying very hard to become a world leader, and to obtain this title, it must gain the trust of other countries, but as long as they engage in violations Basic human rights activities, it is difficult to achieve this.
PompeoUrge Biden not to just talk and do nothing. He believes that what Xi may have obtained through the phone call with Biden is that the current US government will only talk about human rights issues and raise these issues, rather than take action.
Li Youtan, a professor at the National Development Research Institute of National Chengchi University in Taiwan, said, “What we worry most is that after the Biden administration came to power, it was all verbal and no actual actions. This is what we worry most. It is not only the Republican Party and bipartisan politics. Strong supervision is required, and the people of liberal democracies all over the world must also closely watch what the Biden administration does.”
Twenty-four non-governmental organizations (NGOs) sent a letter to US President Joe Biden on February 17, asking the US government to make human rights a priority in its China policy.
An open letter from NGOs focusing on China’s human rights and civil rights stated that the international community needs to fundamentally stop the Chinese (CCP) government from violating human rights at home and abroad, because many of the previous tools are no longer applicable or not powerful enough.
These institutions also made seven suggestions to the Biden administration, including making human rights a priority of the U.S. policy toward China. The government needs to carefully distinguish between China and the CCP in terms of language. At the same time, it should not use fake Chinese propaganda language to avoid serious violations of human rights by the CCP. Excused by behavior.
