Japan Is Finding It Harder to Stay Quiet on China’s Abuse of Uyghurs
Japan is the only member of the Group of 7 industrial powers that did not participate in coordinated sanctions imposed on Chinese officials last month over the situation in Xinjiang, which the U.S. government has declared a genocide.
Public awareness of the issue is growing in the country, spurred in part by the work of Uyghur activists, and that is increasing pressure on the government to take action.
Japan has mustered little more than expressions of “grave concern” over the fate of the Uyghurs.
In some ways, the Japanese government’s tone on China has already toughened. When two U.S. cabinet officials visited Tokyo in March, their Japanese counterparts signed a joint statement criticizing China over its “coercion and destabilizing behavior” in the Asia-Pacific region and its violations of the “international order.”
