"The United States stands with countries and people around the world against the genocide and crimes against humanity happening in the Xinjiang region... and in Hong Kong, where the Chinese Communist Party has imposed harsh, anti-democratic measures under the guise of national security," Blinken said. "We'll continue to raise these issues and call for change, not to stand against China, but to stand up for peace, security and human dignity."
