- CNBC reports: "China will respond if the United States takes any new steps on trade, the foreign ministry said on Monday, after President Donald Trump warned he was ready to slap tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports into the United States. On Friday, Trump said he was ready to levy additional taxes on practically all Chinese imports, threatening duties on $267 billion of goods over and above planned tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese products. "If the U.S. side obstinately clings to its course and takes any new tariff measures against China, then the Chinese side will inevitably take countermeasures to resolutely protect our legitimate rights," Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a regular briefing, when asked about Trump's warning."
- TIME reports: "Human Rights Watch said Monday it has evidence that the Chinese government is carrying out a "systematic campaign" of rights abuses against Turkic Muslims living in the country's western Xinjiang Province, accusing authorities of arbitrary detention, torture and far-reaching controls over everyday life. The group said in a report that Xinjiang's Muslim population of about 13 million has been subjected to "forced political indoctrination, collective punishment, restrictions on movement and communications, heightened religious restrictions, and mass surveillance in violation of international human rights law." The government controls primarily affect ethnic Uighurs, Kazakhs and other minorities, the report said. "The Chinese government is committing human rights abuses in Xinjiang on a scale unseen in the country in decades," said Sophie Richardson, China director at HRW."
- Fox News reports: "The Chinese government is destroying cross, burning bibles, closing churches and forcing Christian believers to sign papers renouncing their faith as the crackdown on religious congregations in Beijing and several provinces intensifies. The suppression of religious freedoms comes as an official government campaign to "Sinicize" religion by demanding loyalty to the atheist Communist party and removing any potential challenge to the party's power in the country."
