President Joe Biden believes the Chinese regime has committed “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” against Uyghur Muslims in the region of Xinjiang—a designation that was announced by the Trump administration a day before the presidential inauguration.
“President Biden has called the oppression of the Uyghurs a genocide, and he stands against it in the strongest possible terms,” National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne told the Washington Examiner.
