Joe Biden on Monday condemned President Trump’s “weak” stance on protecting Uighur rights in China.

Biden’s comments came days after a report from the Associated Press revealed that the communist regime has been imposing forced sterilizations on Uighur women in an effort to keep their population down in Xinjiang province, where many Uighurs are kept in internment camps. Biden called these “unconscionable crimes” and blamed Trump for not doing more to combat China.
