WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday faulted the Trump administration for failing so far to impose sanctions over China’s alleged human rights abuses against its Muslim minority and called for punitive measures against a senior Communist Party official and Chinese companies.

It also asked the United States to strengthen financial disclosure requirements to alert American investors about the presence in U.S. capital markets of Chinese companies that are “complicit in human rights abuses.” The letter specifically cited Hikvision and Dahua Technology, which produce audio-visual equipment that can be used for surveillance.

The letter, which was sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, urged them to swiftly slap sanctions on Xinjiang’s Communist Party chief Chen Quanguo, a member of the Chinese leadership’s powerful politburo, and other Chinese officials “complicit in gross violations of human rights.”

A big reason why there is increased international rejection of the U.S.—our misguided Liberal policies claim to respect cultures, but undermine them routinely. All nations have a right to protect, preserve, and restore their culture. The West would be wise to follow suit.

Do as I say and not as I do

Have you ever seen a Muslim integrated into local community? If not, please learn something from China how to de-radicalize first and then “help” them to integrate.
