[Wire] A spokeswoman for China’s foreign ministry deflected accusations that the communist regime is torturing Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps by mentioning the Texans suffering after a severe winter storm.Chunying’s comment came in response to a journalist asking her about western nations demanding an investigation into allegations that China is subjecting religious minorities to deplorable human rights abuses in the country’s western Xinjiang region.
Chunying also accused Australia, Canada, and the United States of having historically committed genocide.
"Not to be wanting of food or clothing, not to be hungry or cold, this is the fundamental human right that is the most real," Chunying said. "In the meantime in Texas ... millions of people found themselves caught in the terrible situation of not having electricity and heating at home, a few tens of people even lost their lives because of this."
