China has hit back after Canada called for an investigation into rights abuses against the Uyghurs at the U.N. yesterday. “Canada robbed the Indigenous people of their land, killed them, and eradicated their culture,” Beijing said, citing the recent discovery of the remains of 215 students at a former residential school and calling for a “thorough and impartial investigation.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded, “In Canada, we had a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Where is China’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission?” Meanwhile, U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced an investigation of Native American boarding schools.
