Forced slavery, government tyranny, repression in Tibet, abuses in Hong Kong, and so much more from China. Human Rights Watch notes
The Chinese government is committing crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in the northwest region of Xinjiang, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The Chinese leadership is responsible for widespread and systematic policies of mass detention, torture, and cultural persecution, among other offenses. Coordinated international action is needed to sanction those responsible, advance accountability, and press the Chinese government to reverse course.
Amnesty International also has a scathing report. But, the high ranking poobahs in the climate cult don’t really care
Pelosi says addressing climate change with China is ‘overriding issue’ despite human rights abuses
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that opening a dialogue with China on climate change must take priority as the “overriding issue,” despite a slurry of geopolitical threats posed by the communist nation.
“The situation with China is tightening, it’s getting worse,” she said at an event in Cambridge, England.
Pelosi, D-Calif., pointed to human rights abuses – including the Uyghur genocide in western China – security threats and economic challenges China poses for the U.S. but said those issues were subsidiary compared to climate change.
“With their military aggression in the South China Sea, with their continuation of genocide with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang province, with their violation of the cultural… religious priority of Tibet, with their suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and other parts of China as well – they’re just getting worse in terms of suppression,” the House speaker said.
“Having said all of that… we have to work together on climate,” she added. “Climate is an overriding issue and China is a leading emitter in the world – U.S. too, developed world too – but we must work together. We have to have a level of communication – whether it’s COVID, whether it’s terrorism or whether it’s climate.”
By “having said all of that”, Pelosi means “who cares about that stuff? We have some climate scam work to do!” And, why would she care? Instituting ‘climate change’ policies means America gets many of the same Big Government, controlling, and monitoring systems of repression used by China. These are all policies that empower government over the citizens. Human rights was always secondary to the Obama admin, particularly with Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, and it’s barely a consideration now. Funny how the only president who cared was Donald Trump.

Biden convenes world leaders to discuss climate change ahead of Glasgow summit
President Joe Biden convenes world leaders on Friday for a discussion about intensifying efforts to tackle climate change, seeking to build momentum ahead of an international summit on global warming later this year.
Biden will hold a virtual meeting of the Major Economies Forum (MEF) from the White House in a follow-up to an Earth Day meeting he hosted in April to unveil new U.S. greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and press other countries to do more to curb theirs.
Biden has been emphasizing climate change repeatedly in recent weeks in the wake of damage from devastating floods and wildfires across the United States.
Most of them probably don’t care at all about China’s human rights abuses, or that they released COVID19 (intentionally or unintentionally), or that they are making moves towards Taiwan, or anything else. These big wigs like the policies that allow control.
Pelosi doesn’t care about the rights of American citizens so why would she care about the rights of Chinese citizens?
Teach Are you still actively selling Chinese stuff?
So you are equating people making a living by working for a salary and the government abusing those people for exercising their rights?
No one can follow that lack of logic and critical thinking.
Once again, we see how the left hates the rights and freedoms of people, because all the left has is hate.
Their hypocrisy is legion. Hairy, you still driving a gas powered car?
Why not just say that there’s no money in it for her or her allies in defending human rights in China or anywhere else?
