VOA News

   WASHINGTON - Both U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and
   President Donald Trump are newly condemning China's treatment of its
   Uighur Muslim minority, with Biden calling it genocide.

   "The unspeakable oppression that Uighurs and other ethnic minorities
   have suffered at the hands of China's authoritarian government is
   genocide and Joe Biden stands against it in the strongest terms,"his
   campaign said this week.

   The Trump administration has not described Beijing's actions as
   genocide, but National Security Council(NSC)spokesman John Ullyot
   condemned the Chinese treatment of the Uighurs.

   He said China had committed"horrific acts against women, including
   forced abortion, forced sterilization and other coercive birth control
   methods, state-sponsored forced labor, sexual violence
   includingthroughrape in detention, compulsory home-stays by Han
   officialsand forced marriages."
