Lawmakers in Belgium’s Chamber of Representatives have submitted a resolution calling on their government to designate abuses in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) as genocide, prompting an immediate protest from Beijing demanding that the proposal be tabled.
On Thursday, Samuel Cogolati and Wouter de Vriendt, both members of the Ecolo-Groen grouping, put forth the proposal based on mounting evidence of China’s policies of mass sterilization and forced abortions that they called part of “a coercive birth repression campaign,” as well as the transfer of large numbers of children whose parents are detained in the region’s internment camps into state orphanages.
