British MPs approved a motion in the House of Commons on Thursday to declare that genocide is taking place against the Muslim Uyghurs and others in the Xinjiang region of China, representing a landmark parliamentary stance on the issue.
The vote is essentially symbolic, as it does not compel the British government to take action. But the censure signals in the strongest terms to date lawmakers’ willingness to challenge the repressive regime of the Chinese Communist Party and sends a clear signal to the international community of its position. The United States of America, Canada, and the Netherlands have similarly branded the Chinese government’s actions in the region as genocide.
