WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday likened China's treatment of more than one million Uighur Muslims to George Orwell's"1984" novel, saying the Communist Party was detaining and abusing them in internment camps.
Speaking at an American Association of Christian Counselors event in Nashville, Tennessee, Pompeo also said he wished the National Basketball Association had acknowledged the situation in the Xinjiang region.

Morey deleted his tweet but"The Chinese Communist Party is detaining and abusing more than one million Uighur Muslims in internment camps in Xinjiang, the western region of China," Pompeo said."The pages of George Orwell's 1984 are coming to life there. I wish the NBA would acknowledge that.
