The former secretary of state <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/kerry-admits-slave-labor-fuels-chinas-green-energy-supply-chain\/\">admitted<\/a> to lawmakers in May that Uyghur slave labor fuels green energy supply chains, potentially complicating climate cooperation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Even as the Biden administration has followed the Trump administration in sanctioning Xinjiang-area companies for their use of slave labor, some Democrats place a higher priority on climate change. A bill introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Gregory Meeks (D., N.Y.) <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/dems-turn-major-china-bill-into-green-slush-fund\/\">tucked<\/a> millions of dollars in taxpayer money into a climate fund intended to boost cooperation with China. Meanwhile, Meeks rejected dozens of Republican measures to toughen the United States&#8217; stance on human rights, the 2022 Olympics, and the defense of Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/pompeo-religious-liberty-trumps-climate-concessions\/\">said<\/a>&nbsp;in July that prioritizing climate cooperation with China over standing against the Uyghur genocide would be a &#8220;grave mistake&#8221; that would bankrupt the United States&#8217; worldwide credibility on human rights.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Security China&#8217;s &#8216;green&#8217; supply chains use slave labor  John Kerry and Chinese deputy environment minister Zhai Qing in 2016 (Cyril Ndegeya\/AFP via Getty Images) &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-598295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
