Highlighting continued campaign of repression, Pompeo said that shocking revelations made by German researcher Adrian Zenz are sadly consistent with decades of Chinese Communist Party practices that demonstrate an utter disregard for sanctity of human life and basic human dignity.

“We call on Chinese Communist Party to immediately end se horrific practices and ask all nations to join United States in demanding an end to se dehumanizing abuses,” said top US diplomat in a statement.
