Holocaust Museum report warns China "may be committing genocide"

A report released today by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum states the museum is "gravely concerned" the "Chinese government may be committing genocide against the Uyghurs."

Why it matters: A growing number of governments and other institutions are concluding the Chinese government's policies toward the Uyghur ethnic minority aren't just repression, but in fact constitute genocide.

Once a government has made a legal determination of genocide, they have an obligation under international law to take action.

The report was published by the museum's Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide, which states in the report that it "seeks to do for victims of genocide today what was not done for the Jews of Europe."

Seems to be the same excuse used every time something like this happens...as long as they don't attack us, it isn't our concern!
