It\u2019s perhaps one of the most compelling issues we face as a planet, if not the most. I would say it is the most right now and I think that what we\u2019re doing is the responsible thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, when Kerry was pressed about genocide in China, such as the use of forced labor in the Xinjiang province to build solar panels, he dismissed concerns.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After announcing joint &#8220;cooperation&#8221; with China on climate change, John Kerry chuckles when pressed on China&#8217;s use of slave labor to build solar panels:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not my lane&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/e3NdUe6if9\">pic.twitter.com\/e3NdUe6if9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1458646748126187521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kerry has developed a reputation for dodging questions about human rights violations in China.
