In recent years, China has faced severe criticism from western countries over human rights violations in Tibet and persistent reports of the mass detention of Uighurs and other minorities in Xinjiang
In the first conversation between top officials of the US and China since President Joe Biden took office, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pressed Beijing on its treatment of Uighurs, Tibetans and Hong Kongers.
About his call with senior Chinese official Yang Jiechi, Blinken said on Twitter, "I made clear the US will defend our national interests, stand up for our democratic values, and hold Beijing accountable for its abuses of the international system."
