China forcing abortions & sterilization on Uighur Muslims: Mike Pompeo
Op IndiaUS State Secretary Mike Pompeo, speaking during a visit to Iowa on Friday said that China is imposing draconian measures to slash birth rates among ethnic Uighurs as part of a sweeping campaign to curb its Muslim population. Calling it a “stain of the century”, Pompeo slammed China for practising forced sterilization and abortion of Chinese Muslims in Western China. “Today, China is working to take down freedom all across the world”, saying this, the US State Secretary highlighted how the Chinese Communist Party is not only crushing freedom in Hong Kong and threatening a free Taiwan but also trying to dominate the global communication networks. Mike Pompeo said that while China was trying to crush the world’s freedoms, Pompeo said that the USA will “stay still”. Additionally, China has detained more than one million Uighurs in so-called “reeducation centres” and has forced them to undergo psychological indoctrination programs — like studying communist propaganda and giving thanks to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
