The Voice of America Window on the World Program Broadcasts Its Interview with Wei Jingsheng: Xinjiang Detention Camps Is of the Same Type but of Larger Scale as the Nazi Concentration Camps

On April 2, 2021, the Voice of America Window on the World program broadcast its host Zhiyuan’s interview with Wei Jingsheng. The following is a brief introduction.

Recently, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the European Union have imposed sanctions based on China’s genocide and human rights violations against Uyghurs, including sanctions on individual Chinese officials and sanctions on cotton products in Xinjiang. The incident triggered a wave of Chinese netizens boycotting foreign brands. However, according to reports, most US companies remain silent on sanctions. So, how are we to view the relationship between human rights and trade, and how effective are sanctions? Voice of America reporter Zhi Yuan interviewed Wei Jingsheng, the human rights adviser to Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) and chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition.

Wei Jingsheng said in the interview that the human rights report published by the US State Department this time is an important work implemented by the Biden administration on human rights issues, and many Western democracies have followed suit to criticize and condemn the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Several countries have even imposed sanctions. It made the CCP very scared. As a result, the CCP’s online police incited "patriotism" on the Internet. But there was no effect. On the contrary, it shows the weak essence of the CCP despite its big noises.

Wei Jingsheng praised US Secretary of State Blinken for continuing the work of his predecessor, former Secretary of State Pompeo, by continuing to expose and boycott the CCP’s genocide policy in Xinjiang, and implementing the human rights policy in practice. Wei Jingsheng also pointed out that, in fact, similar human rights violations have occurred in the past, but the U.S. government dared not offend the CCP government. Now the CCP has become more and more cruel and these detention camps are the same type as Nazi concentration camps.

Regarding Secretary of State Blinken’s plan to cooperate with the U.S. Congress to pass related human rights resolutions, Wei Jingsheng commented that the cooperation is very important, but he also pointed out that not only do the human rights resolutions need to be established, but they should include implementation to make these resolutions "have teeth", especially for Xi Jinping’s era with its extremely poor human rights record.

Regarding the CCP’s suppression of freedom of speech, especially the detention of whistleblowers who exposed the Wuhan pneumonia cases that were caused by the COVID virus, Wei Jingsheng supports the Western governments’ calls for the CCP to release relevant detainees and give the Chinese people a little space for freedom of speech.

Regarding the behavior of the smiling tiger Yang Jiechi in the recent China-US Alaska meeting, and the behavior of some of the CCP's embassy and consulate personnel afterwards, Wei Jingsheng pointed out that it shows that Xi Jinping has become less and less self-confident of his regime.

美国之音时事经纬节目采访魏京生：新疆关押营与纳粹集中营一个类型规模更大

2021年4月2日，美国之音时事经纬节目播出了其主持致远对魏京生的采访，以下为内容简介。

最近，美国，加拿大，英国，荷兰和欧盟因为中国对维吾尔人的种族灭绝和侵犯人权行为而实施制裁，其中包括对一些中国官员个人的制裁以及对新疆棉花制品的制裁。事件引发中国网民抵制外国品牌风潮。不过，据报道，美国公司大多对制裁与否仍保持沉默。那么，如何看待人权与贸易的关系，制裁效果如何？美国之音记者致远采访了对华政策跨国议会联盟人权顾问、中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生。

魏京生在采访时表示，这次的人权报告，是拜登政府就人权问题的一次比较落实的工作，而且很多西方民主国家都跟上来了，来批评中共，谴责中共，甚至好几个国家已经实施制裁了，让中共很害怕。以致于中共在网上，煽动五毛的“爱国主义”。但这些没什么效果，反倒显示了中共色厉内荏的本质。

魏京生赞扬美国的布林肯国务卿继续其前彭培奥国务卿的工作，继续揭露抵制中共在新疆的种族灭绝政策，把人权政策落实到实处。魏京生还指出，其实类似的人权侵犯过去就有，但美国政府不敢得罪中共政府，而现在中共搞的规模越来越大越残酷，与纳粹集中营是一个类型了。

就布林肯国务卿打算与美国国会合作，共同建立人权法案，魏京生认为很重要，但也指出：人权法案不仅仅需要建立，更应当执行，使之“有牙齿”，尤其是针对人权极差的习近平时代。

就中共当局打压言论自由，尤其是有关因揭露武汉肺炎而被关押的吹哨人们，魏京生支持西方政府呼吁中共释放相关被关押人员，给中国的言论自由一点空间。

就刚进行的中美阿拉斯加会谈中笑面虎杨洁篪的表现，以及之后一些中共使领馆人员的战狼表现，魏京生指出，这正说明习近平已经越来越不自信了。
