China has permitted the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to visit the Xinjiang region. UNHRC had been seeking permission from the Xi Jinping government to visit Xinjiang for a long time. China has agreed to allow the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to visit Xinjiang after the conclusion of the Winter Olympics.
China repressing minorities in Xinjiang
Human rights groups have consistently said that China is oppressing Muslims and minorities in the Xinjiang region. These groups say that minorities including Uighurs, Kazakhs, and many more are facing persecution which is a crime against humanity. Many countries, including the US, have criticized China's human rights record in dealing with Uighurs. However, China has always vehemently denied these allegations. China calls its policies necessary to deal with religious extremism.
