Nury Turkel, @nuryturkel, @USCIRF, co-founder of the Uyghur Human Rights Project and a commissioner of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and Gordon Chang, @GordonGChang, Daily Beast, in re: The intl community is looking to leadership in Washington for the announcement of a boycott against the Olympics in China. Hoping to see this in Netherlands, Australia, other. US leadership is much needed to address the genocidal deeds in China. Whenever Beijing swings with a personal attack, China is taking it seriously. China is trying to bury the deaths, predations, mass rapes, physical and cultural genocides in their fourth year , under the rug. It's not working.
It's to be hoped that the White Hose will make an announcement, along with a specific action; for example: what will it do about ongoing slavery-made products? And a special tribunal to hold bad actors in Communist China to account. Various proposals have been put in place. The genocides: real people, right now. If we do not take these actions, expect to see future atrocities. Recently, they had family members of Rebiya Kadeer making pro-Communist comments. Quite mad.
