[WASHINGTON] US President Donald Trump, who has made religious freedom a centrepiece of his foreign policy, met on Wednesday with victims of religious persecution from countries like China, Turkey, North Korea, Iran and Myanmar.
Four of the 27 participants in the Oval Office meeting were from China, the White House said: Jewher Ilham, an Uighur Muslim; Yuhua Zhang, a Falun Gong practitioner; Nyima Lhamo, a Tibetan Buddhist; and Manping Ouyang, a Christian. Reuters reported in May that the US administration was considering sanctions on Chinese video surveillance firm Hikvision over the country's treatment of its Uighur minority, citing a person briefed on the matter.
The Chinese government has traditionally rejected any suggestion that it abuses religious rights and human rights.
