The attention on the Uyghurs has been fading. Especially now under Trump, we have seen a decrease in overall attention to human rights. However, the visit is an opportunity for Trump to press Xi Jinping to end the crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.
What’s inside the blind box? Trendy toys on US shelves evade #Uyghur# labor law.
@CECCgov Cochair #RepChrisSmith# urges @CBP to halt imports of #Labubu# dolls until @popmart_us can demonstrate that the toys are not made with forced labor.
“Beijing’s strategy of “territorializing” security reached a new peak this month with the establishment of Caohu City following Cenling County in Kashgar last month.”
Read @UyghurMonitor’s latest monthly review:
President Trump's US$14 billion Taiwan arms package is an expensive negotiating chip with Communist China, for US arms sellers and Taiwan's security. There are FAR cheaper tools (basically, anything public):
-Invite any Taiwan unofficial official to the White House
-Call Taiwan's President by phone
-Allow Taiwan's President to transit thru the US on his way to a diplomatic visit (Belize, Guatemala, Paraguay)
-Advocate for Taiwan entry to the WHO, WHA, ICAO, Interpol, or the UN.
-Send congratulations to Taiwan on World Democracy Day (Sep. 15)
-Celebrate the Dalai Lama's birthday
-Fly a Tibetan flag
-Receive a blessing from a Tibetan monk NOT designated by Beijing
-Free Tibet!
-Push for Manchurian freedom
-Push for Inner Mongolia and East Turkestan freedom.
-Ask China to release all Uyghur (Muslim) prisoners.
-Ask China to close all concentration camps.
-Ask China to stop taking prisoners.
-Ask China to stop taking prisoners' organs
-Ask China to bring itself into the 21st century by dismantling its empire and setting all colonies free. The West has, Russia has, surely China can, too!
-Send Winnie the Pooh cartoons to Emperor Xi
-Come on, everyone. What else?
