US Senate Proposed Bipartisan Resolution Seeking to Declare "Genocide" of Uyghurs in China

Many US senators proposed a resolution on Tuesday (October 27), seeking to officially declare China's measures against Uyghurs and other Turkic-speaking Muslims in Xinjiang a genocide.

A group of bipartisan senators jointly proposed the draft resolution, but the Congress will not consider it until after the general election next week at the earliest. The resolution states that "China's measures against the Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region constitute genocide".

Republican Senator John Cornyn, the sponsor, said the resolution is a first step toward holding China accountable for its horrific actions. The Co-sponsor, Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley, said the United States could no longer remain silent. He added, "China's aggression against the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, including its escalating surveillance, imprisonment, torture, and forced 're-education camps', is nothing short of genocide”.
