CHINA: China official media blasts U.S. Uighur bill, calls for reprisals (RTRS)

- Chinese official media excoriated the United States and called for harsh

reprisals in editorials on Thursday after the U.S. House of Representatives

passed legislation requiring a stronger response to Beijing's treatment of its

Uighur Muslim minority. The commentaries follow warnings from China on Wednesday

that the legislation could affect bilateral cooperation, including a near-term

deal to end the two countries' trade war. A front-page editorial in the ruling

Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper said the passage of the U.S.

legislation "harbours evil intent and is extremely sinister". "Underestimating

the determination and will of the Chinese people is doomed to fail," it said.
