Labor pushes Morrison government to clarify whether it views Xinjiang human rights abuses as genocide Daniel Hurst Foreign affairs and defence correspondent © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Mick Tsikas/AAP The Morrison government must explain whether it sees human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang region as a case of genocide, the federal opposition says. Labor’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Penny Wong, also called on the government to “consider targeted sanctions on foreign companies, officials and other entities known to be directly profiting from Uyghur forced labour and other human rights abuses”. The calls, which come amid a rift in the relationship between China and Australia, reflect the growing bipartisan consensus in Canberra favouring a tougher line against Beijing on human rights concerns.
