UK parliament declares genocide in China’s Xinjiang

Good news! However, most news sources that I have seen (Epoch Tims, CNN, Reuters) failed to mention how many members actually voted unanimously for this non-binding resolution! Unfortunately, only 278 of 650 total members of the House of Commons voted for it! (Source)

"... This makes the UK Parliament the third legislature in the world—following Canada and the Netherlands—to approve motions referring to the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang as “genocide.” ..." (Source)
