US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that a long-awaited UN report on human rights violations in China's Xinjiang province reaffirmed Washington's view that Beijing is committing "genocide" against the Uyghurs.
Blinken said that the United States "welcomes" the "important" report, released minutes before UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet – who was strongly criticised by Washington for a recent visit to China – left office.
