WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly backed legislation on Tuesday that would require the Trump administration to toughen its response to China’s crackdown on its Uighur Muslim minority. The 407 to 1 vote was likely to increase tensions with Beijing, even though the measure is several steps from becoming law. It must still pass the U.S. Senate and then be sent to the White House for President Donald Trump to sign into law, or veto.

Interfering in the internal affairs of a foreign nation state only welcomes those foreign nation states to interfere in the USA. If they are already doing it covertly or not, it encourages them to interfere even more so in retaliation. If not, they have a welcome mat to start.

US putting screws on China as the CCP leaders watch helplessly ☹️. XHNews

President Xi. Now is the time to dump all of China's U.S. treasuries on the market. End America's madness before it ends you.

I find it hard to believe the US really wants to help Muslims without getting paid somehow

see Uyghurs being tortured here:

but they wanna deal 😂

'A .. police officer .. near what is officially called a vocational education centre in Yining in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region' 🇨🇳

Any repugs who voted on this are hilarious comedians. Wait until China passes a bill condemning caging children and separating them from parents 😂😂😂

I say Congress should be the first drafted when China has had enough. If they die, they die.

Its all political ... The U.S doesn't give a damn about muslims .. Ever hear about a house bill condemning Israel? apologizing for the destruction of Iraq? Afghanistan?

America killed so many Muslim in Iraq and now they try to impose 'sanctions' against China?! Extremists of Uygur Muslim are treated as normal people just to correcting their extreme thoughts. America just killing Muslim and pretending a saint.

China should reply in kind

realDonaldTrump grossière erreur les chinois ont demandé de l'aide au US et à la France sur le terrorisme Uighur sous L'administrations Obama et Holland demande écarté avec dédains ( Chinois font ce qui doit être fait en cas de terrorisme ) idem les US ,ni comme l'Europe .

US is desperate. they will use anything to throw back at China for not signing a deal with them. pathetic.

Thank you my friends 🙏🏾 if this Serbia Americans be bombing by now
