WASHINGTON: The United States expressed concern on Saturday over China's"efforts to restrict and manipulate" the UN human rights chief's visit to the Xinjiang region where Beijing is accused of detaining more than a million people in indoctrination camps.
The top US diplomat reiterated his country's stance that Chinese authorities would not allow Bachelet full access during her long-planned trip, saying the United States was"concerned" about China's"efforts to restrict and manipulate her visit". Her visit was the first to China by a UN high commissioner for human rights in 17 years and comes after painstaking negotiations over the conditions of the visit."We are further troubled by reports that residents of Xinjiang were warned not to complain or speak openly about conditions in the region, that no insight was provided into the whereabouts of hundreds of missing Uyghurs and conditions for over a million individuals in detention," Blinken said.
"Resignation is the only meaningful thing she can do for the Human Rights Council," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesperson for the World Uyghur Congress advocacy group, while US-based Uyghur activist Rayhan Asat called it a"total betrayal" on Twitter.
US and all of the western 'so-called civilization' should deal with their own domestic human right before poking into others backyards. By your standard, life here is much being treasured than anywhere else.
US is always 'concerned' about China. Go fix your gun laws first before concerning yourself about others! 🙄
There’s a gun epidemic back home and you are concern Seriously.
US is such a big kpo. Their forefathers took the land that belonged to the Red Indians, made the blacks slaves at that time. Hypocrites!
Any screen time for the CCP criminals to whitewash their crimes are a concern.

Expose china at every oppurtunity.
