House Republican John Kerry, expressing concern about President Biden’s special climate envoy, recently commented on a possible climate deal with China – saying he called on Uyur Muslims in the communist country He despised the seriousness of human rights abuses imposed.
Carey’s rhetoric has been criticized in the wake of his recent interview foreign policy, Whereupon he said: “We have differences on economic rules on cyber. We have other differences on human rights, geospatial interests, but those differences are not to get in the way of what is important to deal with the climate. “
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have repeatedly condemned China’s forced labor camps that targeted Uygar Muslims in China’s Xinjiang region, have gone to Congress with several resolutions aimed at pushing against the abuses is.
But several Republicans on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs said they interpreted Kerry’s comments as a willingness to strike a climate deal to ignore the genocide of Muslim ethnic minorities.
“Seeking CCP stop committing genocide is ‘not getting in the way’ of climate change negotiations, and climate issues are more important, insensitive and unfair than the lives of millions of oppressed people living in China” Member Michael McCall (R- Texas) told The Post in a statement.
“I would urge Secretary Kerry to reconsider his priorities if he wants to continue the dialogue behind closed doors with human rights abuses and American opponents.”
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) Called the comments “pathetic”, slamming the Biden administration’s climate plan as giving China an economic edge and possibly undermining the standing of the United States.
“It is pathetic that John Kerry is an excuse for the abominable slavery of the Chinese Communist Party and the killing of Uygurs to make this disgusting climate system possible,” he said.
He said, ‘CCPs are theaters that never play by the rules, this is a fact. Our country should not engage in a unilateral, destructive climate plan that we know will not follow the CCP and undermine any of our economic gains with China. “
Rep. August August Pfluger (R-Texas) echoed Berkett’s sentiments, calling Carey’s remarks “disgusting and morally wrong”.
“Right now, Communist China is actively massacring millions of Uyghur Muslims by forcing them into labor camps and subjecting them to many crimes against humanity,” he said.
“The United States cannot close its eyes and erase these abuses.”
Freshman Rape. Nicole Malliotakis (RN.Y.) accused Kerry of being hypocritical with his rhetoric as President Biden vowed to strengthen China, calling him to reevaluate his priorities.
“In two sentences, John Kerry managed to list every single reason, because America should not rule out abusive and corrupt governance over unfair and costly climate agreements with China,” she said.
“The administration cannot claim to stand for human rights or religious freedom, ignoring China’s brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide against the indigenous Uygur Muslim population.”
Although Kerry has been under fire from Republicans for his remarks, a State Department spokesman dismissed allegations that it was prepared to ignore China’s human rights abuses, stating that the administration had asked Beijing to “in Vowed to immediately end the atrocities “and work with allies, facing China’s human rights violations, still working on its climate goals.”
“As noted by Special Presidential Envoy Kerry, climate is an important standalone issue. The spokesman said in a statement, other aspects of the US-China relationship – values such as American interests and human rights – will not be traded.
“We can compete with the PRC and call for their egoistic actions, including their widespread human rights abuses, while at the same time working to deal with the climate crisis.”
