British MPs Call for Boycotting Beijing Winter Olympics: Uyghur Genocide Evidence is Clear, but the UK Has No Spine to Resist
The British political circle continues to suppress Beijing on human right issues in China. Some parliamentarians and dignitaries call on the government, the Olympic Committee and athletes to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics next year.
Both UK Liberal Democratic Party Leader Ed Davey and Labour Party Member Chris Bryant urged the government and British Olympics Committee to boycott Beijing Winter Olympics. Davey indicated that the Winter Olympics would be a tool for Beijing's political propaganda. He also stated that the genocide evidence in Xinjiang done by China is very conclusive. All five types of genocide listed in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against Genocide occurred in Xinjiang. He accused that the British government of not daring to act is cowardly. “It is so strange that the British government has so far failed to resist. I cannot see why people would still want to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics. In my opinion, the British Olympics Committee should urge the International Olympics Committee to hold the Olympics games in other places. Otherwise, we will boycott."

Twitter Deletes Post by Chinese Embassy Saying Uyghur Women Have Been “Liberated”
A tweet by the Chinese Embassy in US saying Uyghur women had been “liberated” under Beijing’s administration has been taken down by Twitter. Claiming that “progress has been made in terms of gender equality” under Beijing’s Xinjiang policy, the tweet came with an article by the Chinese state media saying that women in the region are no longer birth-giving machines and enjoy greater independence. A day after the tweet was deleted, the embassy shared a post by China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying containing the same article.
The BBC reported that the embassy posted on January 7 a tweet praising Beijing’s Xinjiang policy for “liberating the minds” of Uyghur women and females of other ethnic minorities and bringing the community closer to gender equality. The tweet came with a China Daily article titled “Women Are Having Greater Autonomy Thanks to the Defeat of Extremism, Says Research”, which claims that studies have shown a decrease in birth rate and a slowdown in natural population growth in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region following the elimination of religious extremism. Being no longer discouraged from planned parenthood by religious extremism, the article claims, local women are no longer treated as birth-giving machine and have become more confident and independent. The article takes on Western scholars and politicians that are critical of the changes for being the result of forced sterilization by the state, saying that the accusations are completely false and that family planning policy in the region is completely legal.
The tweet and the article provoked outrage on the Internet, where the Chinese authorities were slammed for lying. Critcs said the tweet proves exactly that Uyghur women have been subjected to forced sterilization. Twitter has since deleted the post, stating that it was against the platform’s rules. No further explanation was given for its move to take down the tweet.

EU to Sanction Chinese Officials Over Human-Rights Violations
Several diplomats said that EU beckons to target China with sanctions over human-rights abuses for the first time since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, blacklisting four people and one entity in Xinjiang. Senior EU officials agreed to use its new human-rights sanctions regime to target the Chinese official
The sanctions including a travel ban and assets freezing, are being imposed because of Beijing’s actions in Xinjiang that the U.S. and some European capitals have labeled a genocide against the Uyghur Muslim minority.
However, the decision still needs formal sign-off, which is expected to happen when foreign ministers meet later in March.

US Condemned CCP's Sanctions on the US and Canadian Officials and Organisations: Beijing Tried to Intimidate to Silence the International Society
The sanctions between China, Europe and the US due to Xinjiang human rights issues become more intense. Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China announced the sanction to two American religious people and two Canadian representatives. US Secretary of State Antony John Blinken replied that Beijing's behaviours were aiming to silence all people who spoke for basic human rights and freedom, reiterating that the US, Canada and the European Union would not withdraw.
The statement of Blinken condemned that the CCP's sanction on the two American The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom(USCIRF) officials was not reasonable, obviously revenging US sanctions on Chinese officials due to Xinjiang serious violation of human rights.
Blinken stated that Beijing used intimidation to attempt to silence the international violation of basic human rights and freedoms and genocide in Xinjiang. He emphasised that the US, Canada, the EU and the global alliances will stand together, claim to Beijing for stopping the violation of targeting minorities and dissidents, and release the people who have been randomly arrested.

Kneeling after Being Sanctioned by China; the British Law Firm Website Removed Xinjiang's Genocide Comments
Four barristers from Essex Court Chambers in England London released a legal opinion document, which described that the Chinese government is doing “genocide” in Xinjiang. Thus, the whole firm was being listed into the sanction list of China. According to Financial Times, the firm recently released a statement for “cutting ties”, saying that those legal opinions are not related to other firm members and has already removed the related document on their official website.
The related legal opinion document was distributed to non-profit organisations by the four lawyers in London. It described the actions that the Chinese government did in Xinjiang, involving the crimes of humanity and genocide. Right after that, the firm was being sanctioned by China.

Pelosi calls for the international community for a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics; Zhao Lijian accuse US to be afraid of seeing China's "vigorous development of human rights"
As international community demands for boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics growing, US Congress held a hearing on 18th, in which the House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi proposed leading countries to diplomatic boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics. Chinese Spokesperson of Foreign Affairs Zhao Lijian responded on the 19th that U.S. were calling on countries not to participating the Winter Olympics because they are afraid that people from all over the world would see the "fact" of China's "vigorous development of human rights".
In a US Congress hearing on Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi proposed a diplomatic boycott of 2002 Beijing Winter Olympics, called for countries leaders not to go there to honour China. “For heads of state to go to China in light of a genocide that is ongoing – while you’re sitting there in your seat – really begs the question: what moral authority do you have to speak again about human rights any place in the world?” she said.

Chinese #ForeignMinister tells Germans ‘you know what #genocide looks like’
//It is estimated that 1 million Uighurs have been detained in so-called re-education camps in Xinjiang.
China’s Foreign Minister #WangYi rejected academic research detailing the abuses, including forced labour and forced sterilisations of women.
#Uighur women who have been detained in the camps have detailed systemic rape, abuse and torture. China has refused to allow independent investigators into the camps and denies any abuses are taking place.
“There is no forced labour in China,” Wang said. “There’s no such thing [as] concentration camps in #Xinjiang.”
“And there’s no such thing as genocide - our European friends know what is genocide,” he said, referring to the Holocaust when Nazi Germany murdered 6 million Jews during World War II.
#Buetikofer, who leads the European Parliament’s China delegation, was one of the politicians sanctioned.
Buetikofer described as reckless Wang’s attempts to use the Holocaust to dismiss claims of crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.
“Wang Yi basically tells us ‘shut up, you shouldn’t talk’.
“The Holocaust should not be used as a diplomatic football for rhetorical gains,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
“The fact of the matter is that it has been precisely because of our wretched history that we have built our democracies and European Union on the basis of adherence to human rights and the rule of law. For us it is an historic obligation.
“If this People’s Republic of China had nothing to hide, they would open up and allow a full independent investigation; no amount of aggressive wolf-warrior diplomacy will obscure the fact that they still have not done so,” he said.//
