Pompeo Says China Guilty of Genocide Against Uyghur Muslims
-----------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, Mike Pompeo accused China of committing "genocide and crimes
against humanity" by imprisoning and repressing Uyghur Muslims in
Xinjiang province. Biden's nominee for secretary of state, Tony Blinken,
agreed with Pompeo's assessment during his Senate confirmation hearing.
Last week, the Trump administration announced a halt to the importation
of cotton and tomatoes from Xinjiang.
