WASHINGTON -President Joe Biden's nominee to be U.S. ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, took a tough line on dealings with China at his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday, saying "genocide in Xinjiang," abuses in Tibet, and bullying of Taiwan must stop.
"The PRC's genocide in Xinjiang, its abuses in Tibet, its smothering of Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms, and its bullying of Taiwan are unjust and must stop," Burns said, using the acronym for the People's Republic of China. Burns said China's military threat to Taiwan was growing, but that maintaining the One China policy was the smartest and most effective way to deter China from exercising force over the self-ruled democratic island.
China's embassy in Washington did not respond immediately to a request for comment on Burns' remarks.Burns said that unlike during the Cold War, U.S. competition with China would revolve around economic and technological might, not military capabilities. Joining with the European Union and Japan on economic issues would provide "real leverage" over China, he added.
“Genocide in Xinjiang” is simply propaganda BS. And to base US foreign policy on China on such make-belief propaganda instead of facts is simply wrong.
