The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to toughen Washington’s position against China regarding its treatment of minority Uighurs, calling on President Donald Trump to apply sanctions against senior Chinese officials.
Pray about Chinese persecution of religious citizens with our prayer guide: Profiting from the Persecutors
The Uighur Act of 2019 condemns Beijing’s “gross human rights violations” linked to the crackdown in the western region of Xinjiang, where as many as one million Uighurs and other mostly Muslim minorities are being held in re-education camps. (We posted a disturbing video about these camps on HeadlinePrayer.org. Click HERE to watch.)
The measure, which passed 407 to 1, is a stronger version of the bill that cleared the Senate in September. The two versions must be reconciled into one bill that gets sent to Trump’s desk.
The vote is sure to draw China’s ire. Beijing has already threatened retaliation against Washington for Trump signing legislation last week supporting Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters, just as the world’s top two economies edge towards a trade truce.
The latest House measure condemns the mass arbitrary detainment of Uighurs and calls for closure of the re-education camps where they have been held and abused, according to rights groups and US lawmakers.
The bill notably urges Trump to slap sanctions on Chinese officials behind the Uighur policy, including Chen Quanguo, the Communist Party chief for Xinjiang. . . .
Rights groups and witnesses accuse China of forcibly trying to draw Uighurs away from their Islamic customs and integrate them into the majority Han culture.
After initially denying their existence, Beijing now defends the camps, which it calls “vocational education centers,” as a necessary measure to counter religious extremism and terrorism.
The House bill would require the State Department to produce a report within one year on the crackdown in Xinjiang.
And it would require the Commerce Department to ban US exports to entities in Xinjiang that are known to be used in the detention or surveillance of Muslim minorities, including facial recognition technology.

There are others who personally visited these camps who did NOT find these conditions (kind of like accusations made against Trump’s wall by certain Dems). Who was behind these videos? The chaos in Hong Kong was started not by the people, but by George Soros who brought in violent gangs, in an attempt to de-stabilize China as was done in Ukraine. Anything coming out of the House should not be unquestionably accepted. I smell a rat.
Europe is just as controlled by propaganda news as the U.S. The BBC is like America’s NPR.
Seems to be the same evil spirit that motivated Hitler . . .
May GOD help the governments of the world to join in the condemnation of China’s activities and take whatever measures they can to put an end to it.
Importantly, may the Chinese people themselves unite against these atrocities.
Yes amen.
Lord God..Father in Heaven..send your Mighty Warring Angels to destroy the demonic hoarded who are behind this extreme persecution…I have heard how they are used for experiential surgeries..cutting out body parts with no anesthesia..it is beyond horrific!
We do not agree with Muslim beliefs but no being created in your image should ever have to suffer these horrific persecutions by a Godless Nation and their compassionless leaders..
If there were no God as they proclaim then why are they so afraid of Him..or His influence…
It also shows their lack of understanding of the One True God as they persecute anyone who has any faith in who they perceive to be God..
Lord open their blind eyes..unstop their deaf ears..the persecutors and the persecuted!
Amen! Father we pray that Your Mighty Spirit of Truth would reach those who committing these horrible crimes to show them the error of their ways and that those who have been blinded would see. We pray for the deliverance of these targeted minority groups and that they would come into the knowledge of Christ and the gift of salvation. In Jesus’ name, we pray amen.
Good morning Elle..
Blessings to a fellow Intercessor.
We have agreed in prayer..
Where 2 or 3 have gathered in My Name..there am I in their midst..
He is here..He is listening…
He is working..
