Can you quote some official document from US that even mentions a single human right demand? Because if you refer on some keyboard worries on twitter then there are probably EU worriers too though they might not be a CEO of a big company that seeks a bit of PR points..
Sure, Congress is in the process of passing the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019 [1] with the stated goal of "countering the totalitarian Chinese government’s widespread and horrific human rights abuses" [2].
The State Department published the 2018 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices [3] which openly documents China's many human rights issues, issues that China is trying to censor and challenge.
The State Department has additionally announced visa restrictions on Chinese officials suspected of being involved in the detention and human rights abuses of millions of Uyghur Muslims and other minority groups. From the CNN article [4] (Pompeo is the US Secretary of State):
> "The United States calls on the People's Republic of China to immediately end its campaign of repression in Xinjiang, release all those arbitrarily detained, and cease efforts to coerce members of Chinese Muslim minority groups residing abroad to return to China to face an uncertain fate," Pompeo wrote. "The United States will continue to review its authorities to respond to these abuses."
I'd love to see similar actions taken by the EU and EU member states. If you have any examples of EU action already, you should post them because I may have missed news about it.
Thank you for your involved reply, though even from your article you can read this
"Experts said the bill’s passage represented progress on the issue but cautioned it would be only symbolic if the executive branch failed to act on its proposals."
EU also has similar symbolic gestures of condemnations and stuff.
This is my opinions as a citizen from an EU country with less then 20 million population, we know that:
1 things are not that good economically and it is stupid to get involved into a fight between 2 giants.
2 the population is not sure if what we know about China is not exaggerated 100 times by some interests similarly as the Saudi Arabia issues are minimized
3 it is well know US uses false pretexts to invade country, change governments uses economical pressure to force passing of different laws or blocking laws to protect is'x big companies interests
Go ask someone from South America , Africa or other non EU or US country and see if they think there is any genuime concern for human rights from the Trump administration,
I think we will have to disagree on this topic though, you are probably to close to the topic to have a unbiased opinion
