Terry Branstad, Former Governor of Iowa and US Ambassador to China under the Trump Administration discusses all things China, touching on some of the biggest issues straining the Biden Administration’s relationship with Beijing. The Ambassador speaks on the recent rise in Chinese aggression towards Taiwan, saying that it ‘is of great concern’. He also expands on the issue of the Uyghurs, a Muslim-minority group in Northwest China, saying the current situation is ‘ethnic cleansing’, as they are ‘really trying to take away their culture and their religion’ by forcing them into ‘re-education camps to make them loyal Chinese communists’ rather than ‘dedicated Muslims’. Saying that in speaking with Ambassadors from ‘other Muslim countries’, ‘seldom would they do anything because they're intimidated by China's economic and military strength’.
