> Fake news much? See the 2020 Uyghur Rights Act [1]. I have no idea where you came up with this.
This claim originates in John Bolton's book [1] Make of it what you will. Personally it seems pretty consistent.
> At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do. The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.
