Chinese #ForeignMinister tells Germans āyou know what #genocide looks likeā
//It is estimated that 1 million Uighurs have been detained in so-called re-education camps in Xinjiang.
Chinaās 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.
āThere is no forced labour in China,ā Wang said. āThereās no such thing [as] concentration camps in #Xinjiang.ā
āAnd thereās no such thing as genocide - our European friends know what is genocide,ā he said, referring to the Holocaust when Nazi Germany murdered 6 million Jews during World War II.
#Buetikofer, who leads the European Parliamentās China delegation, was one of the politicians sanctioned.
Buetikofer described as reckless Wangās attempts to use the Holocaust to dismiss claims of crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.
āWang Yi basically tells us āshut up, you shouldnāt talkā.
āThe Holocaust should not be used as a diplomatic football for rhetorical gains,ā he told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
āThe 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.
āIf this Peopleās 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,ā he said.//
