Trump signs bill to sanction Chinese officials over Uighur rights

Trump signed the bill, formally entitled the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020, on Wednesday, a White House official confirmed. It was approved by the House and Senate in May.

In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Trump said the legislation “holds accountable perpetrators of human rights violations and abuses such as the systematic use of indoctrination camps, forced labor, and intrusive surveillance to eradicate the ethnic identity and religious beliefs of Uyghurs and other minorities in China.”
