Josh Hawley (R-MO) elicited an angered email response from the Chinese Embassy on Monday after he introduced a bill to personally sanction Chinese leader Xi Jinping over China\u2019s abuses of its Uyghur ethnic minorities.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese officials have lashed out at the U.S. in the past, but this Chinese Embassy <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.documentcloud.org\/documents\/23202603\/chinese-embassy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email <\/a>to Hawley \u2014 which was obtained by Axios and published on Wednesday \u2014 is an unusually direct and personal attack. In the emailed letter, Chinese Embassy counselor Li Xiang called Hawley\u2019s bill \u201carrogant and despicable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Hawley <a href=\"http:\/\/hawley.senate.gov\/new-hawley-bill-personally-sanction-xi-over-complicity-uyghur-genocide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">introduced <\/a>the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawley.senate.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-10\/HEY22B64.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sanction Xi Jinping for Xinjiang Atrocities Act<\/a>\u201d which calls for the U.S. government to directly sanction Xi over the mass internment of ethnic minority Uyghurs. <\/p>\n<p>International observers believe Chinese authorities are <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2019\/11\/china-holding-1-8-million-uyghurs-muslim-minorities-in-xinjiangs-internment-camps-experts-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">holding about 1.8 million Uyghurs<\/a> and other ethnic minority members in so-called \u201cre-education\u201d facilities in China\u2019s western Xinjiang region. U.S. officials have accused China\u2019s government of <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2021\/01\/pompeo-us-officially-declares-china-committing-genocide-against-muslims-minorities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">committing genocide against the Uyghur population <\/a>with \u201ccoercive population control measures\u201d like forced sterilizations, abortions and birth control regimens. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am reaching out to express China\u2019s strong indignation and serious concerns regarding Senator Hawley\u2019s new bill Sanction Xi Jinping for Xinjiang Atrocities Act.\u201d Li wrote in an emailed statement dated Monday, Oct. 24. \u201cFilled with ideology bias, this bill not only grossly interferes in China\u2019s internal affairs, but also points fingers at China\u2019s top leadership during the 20th CPC National Congress. Senator Hawley\u2019s action in disregard of global backlash is arrogant and despicable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Li also reiterated the standard Chinese government response to the accusations of genocide in Xinjiang, saying China\u2019s efforts are focused on combatting terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issues related to Xinjiang are not about ethnicity, human rights or religion, but about anti-terrorism, anti-separatism and de-radicalization,\u201d Li wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Hawley\u2019s bill notes the publication of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xinjiangpolicefiles.org\/key-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xinjiang Police Files<\/a>\u201d in May, which are purported leaked internal speeches, images, documents and spreadsheets from Chinese police networks describing the techniques used to control camp detainees. <\/p>\n<p>In his response to Hawley, Li denounced the Xinjiang Police Files, saying they \u201cwere orchestrated and produced by the US and some Western forces and are completely illegal, null and void.\u201d Li said the U.S. accusations that Chinese authorities are committing genocide is an \u201cout-and-out lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Li further added that U.S.-China relations \u201chave met serious difficulties\u201d and \u201cthe root cause lies in the fact that the US side has continued the wrong policy towards China adopted by the previous administration, and treats China as \u2018the most consequential geopolitical challenge.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden has repeatedly pledged that the U.S. will not attack the [Chinese Communist Party], not seek a \u2018new Cold War\u2019, and not seek to change China\u2019s political system,\u201d Li wrote. \u201cThe U.S. side should abide by the commitments with consistent and concrete actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chinese side urges Senator Hawley to abandon the Cold-War zero-sum mentality and ideological prejudice against China, look at CPC and Chinese government\u2019s Xinjiang policy correctly, stop the advancement of this bill, stop any attack and smear against CPC and Chinese leadership, stop any action to undermine China\u2019s sovereignty and security, and stop moving even further down the wrong and dangerous path,\u201d Li added.<\/p>\n<p>Hawley responded to the Chinese official\u2019s letter in a Tweet on Thursday morning, saying, \u201cSomebody\u2019s sensitive: after I proposed sanctioning Xi personally for the CCP genocide against the Uyghurs, Beijing lost its marbles, called the Uyghurs terrorists and demanded I retract the bill. Not going to happen. Read their email to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Somebody\u2019s sensitive: after I proposed sanctioning Xi personally for the CCP genocide against the Uyghurs, Beijing lost its marbles, called the Uyghurs terrorists and demanded I retract the bill.
