The US State Department on Tuesday expressed deep concern over China\u2019s \u201cworsening crackdown\u201d on minority Muslims in the Xinjiang region, as the US administration considered sanctions against Chinese senior officials and companies linked to of human rights abuses.<\/h4>\n

Discussions have gained momentum within the U.S. government over possible economic penalties in response to reports of mass detentions of ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims, which has prompted a growing international outcry, U.S. congressional sources said.<\/h4>\n

Nauert acknowledged that the State Department had received a letter from a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers at the end of August asking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to impose sanctions on a number of Chinese officials accused of overseeing the policies. Those included Chen Quanguo, Communist Party chief in Xinjiang and also a member of the Party\u2019s politburo.<\/h4>\n

The Washington-based Uyghur Human Rights Project tweeted a photo of activist Dolkun Isa, president of World Uyghur Congress, at the White House on Monday along with the comment, \u201cA meeting with White House officials today provided much-needed encouragement for Uyghur human-rights advocates.\u201d<\/h4>\n
