Thank you for your support of the Uyghur Human Rights Act (S.178). I appreciate you Senators taking a strong stance against a regime (Xi's China) that has created the largest concentration camps since Nazi Germany.
I urge the Senators to strengthen the bill in the conference and ensure that it becomes law.
