The U.S. government has imposed trade sanctions on 11 companies it says are implicated in human rights abuses in China's Muslim northwestern region of Xinjiang.

WASHINGTON -- China said Tuesday it would take unspecified "necessary measures" after the U.S. government imposed trade sanctions on 11 companies it says are implicated in human rights abuses in China's Muslim northwestern region of Xinjiang.

The Trump administration also has imposed sanctions on four Chinese officials over the accusations. Beijing responded by announcing unspecified penalties on four U.S. senators who are critics of its human rights record. The Chinese foreign ministry rejected the sanctions as interference in its affairs and an attempt by Washington to hurt Chinese companies.

China has detained an estimated 1 million or more members of the Uighur and other Muslim ethnic minority groups in internment camps. Human rights groups say security forces in Xinjiang appear to be creating a genetic database with samples from millions of people including through using blood and other samples subjects are compelled to provide. Nationwide, authorities have gathered genetic information from the Chinese public for almost two decades that the government says is for use in law enforcement.

To describe what’s happening in Xinjiang as “Muslim abuse complaints” is more than a light touch, CTV News. I suppose COVID can be described as merely a contagious flu?

Corrupt CTV only considers the violent genocide perpetrated by Communist China as ‘abuse’. Kapo CTV‘s a rancid disgrace.

This is why you get called fake news.....the U.S. sanctions are for crimes against humanity
