Serious human rights abuses continued in China during 2024, according to the State Department’s recent Human Rights Report. “Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year in China against predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang,” the reported stated. Authorities censored and manipulated the press, social media, and the internet, particularly around sensitive anniversaries and topics such as public health. Conversations in groups or peer-to-peer on social media platforms and via messaging applications were subject to censorship, monitoring, and action from authorities. The United States stands with the people of China in their struggle to maintain their fundamental human rights and calls on China’s rulers to hold violators of these rights accountable.
