The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 on May 14, and May 27 respectively, and formally submitted it to the White House. The Act accuses China of "human rights violations" in Xinjiang and requires the Trump administration to impose relevant sanctions against China.

As the Bill submitted to the US Congress, the text of which requires clear concepts and explicitly referred facts. However, the so-called Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act has severe problems in terms of concept, logic, and fact, including the misappropriation of concepts, which leads to confusion in understanding, excessive deduction without factual basis, and attribution fallacy that leads to shady conclusions. This Act has become a semantic game, which is self-directed and self-explained by the US. Under the guise of safeguarding "human rights," the Act deliberately obliterates the economic development, social stability, and national unity in Xinjiang. It ignores Xinjiang's efforts to combat terrorism and protect human rights in accordance with laws and regulations. The provisions of the Act fully reflect the "double standards" and hegemonic logic of the United States in dealing with terrorism.
