Trump Administration Combats Chinese ‘Culture of Death’

The Trump administration is taking steps to combat human-rights abuses in China related to the imprisonment of Uighur Muslims and Beijing's population control policy, a senior official told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday.

A senior administration official detailed to the Free Beacon on background 13 policy actions since 2017 the White House has taken to hold Beijing accountable for its population control measures and treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang. Key measures include the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act earlier this year and cutting off funding to United Nations programming that cooperates with China as early as 2017.

"Where the previous Administration and many other world leaders delivered speeches and empty rhetoric, President Trump has taken bold action," National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot told the Free Beacon. "President Trump’s policies have demonstrated that every person—the born and unborn, the poor, the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly—has inherent value."
