Sen. Marco Rubio challenged the New York Times - a newspaper with a long history of defending communist atrocities - to explain its decision to withhold critical information indicating Chinese dictator Xi Jinping was personally the architect behind the ongoing genocide of Muslim minorities in the country.
The information the New York Times withheld regarding Xi in its 2019 coverage would serve as hard evidence in any potential case against Xi for engaging in genocide and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, which specializes in prosecuting world leaders for such atrocities.
"For unknown reasons, the New York Times appears to have intentionally withheld documents that directly linked top Chinese Communist Party officials, including General Secretary Xi Jinping, to the ongoing genocide of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region," Rubio wrote in a letter to Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger on Tuesday.
"In those now-released 'Top Secret' transcripts - documents that the New York Times has allegedly had in its possession since at least 2019 - Xi explicitly authorized changing local counterterrorism laws, rounding up and sentencing Uyghurs, the use of forced sterilization, and the use of slave labor in Xinjiang."
One of the world's top researchers documenting the Uyghur genocide, Adrian Zenz, confirmed that the information revealed at the Uyghur Tribunal came from the same source as the New York Times reporting from 2019, but that the contents of the newspaper's reporting did not include much of what was revealed to be in the documents this week.
"[I]t looks as though the New York Times covered up proof that Xi sanctioned the total destruction of a people," Rubio wrote.
"We may never know why the New York Times and its man in Moscow felt the need to cover up Josef Stalin's atrocities intended to silence and wipe out millions of peasants, but it seems that history is repeating itself," Rubio wrote.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
