The Republican Congressman Chris Smith called China's action in the "modern concentration camps" in Xinjiang as a "bold reduction", which "includes the Mass internment of millions on a scale not seen since the Holocaust. We can not remain silent. We must demand an end to this barbaric practice," said Smith, adding that Chinese officials needed to be pulled for "crimes against humanity" to justice.

China indignant

The new act requires the closure of mass prison camps in the North-Western Region of Xinjiang, and includes, for the first time, the invitation to Trump, to impose sanctions against a member of the Chinese Politburo: The Secretary of the Communist party in Xinjiang, Chen Quanguo, for the conditions in the prison camps to be responsible, it said.

China protested sharp projects against the law. Spokeswoman Hua Chunying aussenamt said on Wednesday in Beijing of an "interference in internal Affairs".

The US government estimates that around a Million Uyghurs are detained against their will, mostly in internment camps. Human rights activists speak of re-education camps, in which Uighurs with sometimes brutal means, on the line of the Communist party should be China's sworn in.
