U.S. Weighs Sanctions Against Chinese Officials Over Muslim Detention Camps
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering sanctions against
Chinese senior officials and companies to punish Beijing’s detention of
hundreds of thousands of ethnic Uighurs and other minority Muslims in large
internment camps, according to current and former American officials.
The economic penalties would be one of the first times the Trump
administration has taken action against China because of human rights
violations. United States officials are also seeking to limit American sales
of surveillance technology that Chinese security agencies and companies are
using to monitor Uighurs throughout northwest China.
