US makes its most forceful attempt to address matters concerning the Uighurs and Muslim minorities.

“China has forcibly detained over one million Muslims in a brutal, systematic campaign to erase religion and culture in Xinjiang,” secretary of state Mike Pompeo wrote on Twitter. The order will also affect their family members, including children who may be seeking to study in the United States.But lawmakers have specifically asked for action against Chen Quanguo, the Communist Party chief for Xinjiang.

“These accusations are nothing more than an excuse for the United States to deliberately interfere in China’s internal affairs,” foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in Beijing. China, after initially denying the camps, describes them as vocational schools aimed at dampening the allure of Islamist extremism and violence.

Pompeo has previously called China’s treatment of Uighurs one of the “worst stains on the world” and likened the camps to actions by Nazi Germany.
