Fox News
Chris Smith wrote Chinese President Xi Jinping to request a visa to visit Uyghurs after a Chinese diplomat slammed a bill condemning organ harvesting as "anti-China."
"The Chinese Embassy’s Minister-Counselor for Congressional Affairs in Washington, Zhou Zheng, stated that ‘China fully protects the rights and interests of all ethnic minorities including Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and the living standards and human rights protections of all ethnic groups continue to improve,’" Smith said, citing the email his office received from the Chinese official one day after the House passed Smith’s Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act.
