Sam Brownback on Friday said in a speech in Hong Kong that China was waging “war with faith” and that it needed to respect the “sacred right” of people to worship, especially Muslims locked up in internment camps in Xinjiang. “If they want to build some confidence in Taiwan, they should give religious freedom to their own people,” he told Reuters. “If they would give religious freedom to their own people, that would be noticeable.”
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen has in return rejected Xi’s call and instead urged China to embrace democracy.
