  • Summary

  • In the six months since outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a determination that China’s treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang met the definition of genocide, Washington has ramped up policies aimed at making China change course in the vast, troubled region -- restricting exports suspected of being made with Uyghur forced labor, blacklisting companies in the region, and pressing for UN and other international scrutiny on the Xinjing issue. What is the significance of this shift by the United States from symbolic statements of condemnation of China and support for Uyghurs to concrete actions? And what will come next? Eyes on Asia asks RFA Uyghur Service Director Alim Seytoff to explain the rapid succession of developments.We also look at a COVID situation in Myanmar that is spiraling out of control. The health system was already in chaos because of unrest against military rule, and the junta has made matters worse by restricting oxygen supplies as the coronavirus spreads. RFA’s Mat Pennington speaks with a Yangon-based journalist about the deteriorating situation in Myanmar’s largest city.
