As the article says, Mike Pompeo’s allegation that China was committing genocide in Xinjiang was unsupported by even a hint of evidence. It was a particularly irresponsible example of ideological posturing at its worst, and besides, an embrace of reckless geopolitics. The abuse of “genocide” has been considered as “an irresponsible, unreasonable, unprofessional, counter-productive, and above all, dangerously incendiary allegation, which could easily spiral out of control if China should choose to respond in kind.”
The article urges the Biden Administration to show respect for the American people and for international law by stop cheapening the meaning of the word “genocide” and to cease treating human rights as geopolitical tools of conflict.
