The Biden administration on Monday sanctioned Chinese government officials over "serious human rights abuse" against ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and warned that China will continue to face consequences should the "atrocities" continue.
The U.S. is "committed to using the full breadth" of its financial powers to "promote accountability for the serious human rights abuses occurring in Xinjiang," the Treasury Department said. "Chinese authorities will continue to face consequences as long as atrocities occur in Xinjiang," said director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control Andrea M. Gacki. "Treasury is committed to promoting accountability for the Chinese government’s human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and torture, against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities."More Related News
