In his press briefing on July 1, Secretary of State Pompeo went overboard in his fulminations, labeling China as “one of the world’s most unfree countries.” He also issued a statement based on a rather dubious report by Adrian Zens, a known anti-China hawk, who has been the prime “source” of everything Congress “knows” about Xinjiang, which claims that China is conducting a policy of “forced birth control” on the Uyghur population The story was picked up by AP and is now making the dissident circuit.
