WASHINGTON, May 28, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The US Congress on Wednesday voted to open the way to sanctions against Chinese officials over the mass incarceration of Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.
The House of Representatives voted 413-1 to back the final version of the Uighur Human Rights Act, which has already angered Beijing.
President Donald Trump can sign or veto the bill, but Congress easily has the votes to override him if he rejects it.
