Pew Research survey shows that Americans think human rights should surpass corporate interests in Biden's China policies.
When asked if the US should “try to promote human rights even if it harms economic relations with China”, 70 percent of those responding to a Pew Research survey said they were fine with that.
This comes at a time when the Uyghur ethnic minority group in Xinjiang is becoming a thorn in China’s side in dealing with the US. The State Department, led by Anthony Blinken, says it agrees with the previous administration’s stance that the Chinese Communist Party’s egregious human rights abuses against the Uyghurs amount to “genocide.” A new report by Newlines Institute, which counted on China’s own documentation and open source intelligence on detention centers for Uyghurs, said China was in breach of Article II of the UN Convention on Genocide. The US State Department under President Trump determined that the CCP is committing genocide, and the current State Department spokesman said the US has not seen any developments to change that determination.
Now, the most pressing issue facing lawmakers is what to do about it, including how to ensure corporations are not supporting the CCP’s genocide by doing business in Xinjiang and, at the very least, ban the sourcing of any material from there for use in factories elsewhere in mainland China where forced labor is not an issue.
The Pew study, published March 4, said that nearly nine-in-ten adults (89%) now consider China either a competitor or enemy, rather than as a trading partner, the preferred term of the globalist Davos crowd.
