The US House of Representatives has approved legislation calling for sanctions on Chinese officials deemed responsible for the oppression of Uighur Muslims. The House approved the Uighur Human Rights Act in a landslide majority by 413-1 vote on Wednesday. The bill has been sent to the White House for President Donald Trump’s approval which will make it a law.
