President Biden faced swift criticism Tuesday night for remarks on how he plans to approach human rights abuses in China. Biden just recently had a phone call with President Xi Jinping and said his counterpart was focused on maintaining a "united, tightly controlled" China. Still, the "different norms" comment prompted Biden’s detractors to accuse him of downplaying the situations in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. The BBC recently ran a damning report about allegations of forced labor and sexual abuse in the Xinjiang region. Biden’s inner circle has spoken out against the treatment of the Muslims and ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region.
