Where is mrswdk to gloat about China and to deny the following?

Biden calls Chinese President Xi and criticizes abuse of Uighurs. But we need more than words.
The world must accept that if the cost of stopping the destruction of an entire people is short-term prosperity, it is a sacrifice that must be made.

Thankfully, new Secretary of State Antony Blinken has affirmed the State Department’s designation of genocide in Xinjiang. In laying out his China policy, he said, “We have to start by approaching China from a position of strength,” and stressed the role of America as a world leader. National security adviser Jake Sullivan recently affirmed Blinken’s position, saying the U.S. must be “prepared to act, as well to impose costs, for what China is doing in Xinjiang.”

The Xinjiang internment camps,[a] officially called Xinjiang Vocational Education and Training Centers (Chinese: 新疆职业技能教育培训中心[11]) by the government of China,[12][13][14][15] are internment camps operated by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region government and its Chinese Communist Party (CCP) provincial committee. Human Rights Watch says that they have been used to indoctrinate Uyghurs and other Muslims since 2017 as part of a "people's war on terror," a policy announced in 2014.[2][16][17] The camps have been criticized for alleged human rights abuses, mistreatment, rape, and torture by the governments of many countries and human rights organizations, with some of them alleging genocide. However, the governments of some countries have expressed support for China's government by justifying the existence of the camps.[18][19]
