New: The Trump State Department’s final act: Calling out China for genocide washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… by me @PostOpinions

Blinken testifies he agrees with Pompeo’s determination that China is committing “genocide” against Uyghurs and other ethnic groups: “That would be my judgment, as well.”
