Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry, on <\/span>Thursday<\/span> rebuked 17 members of the US Congress over their call for boycotting seven Chinese officials and two surveillance equipment manufacturers for their roles in \u201crounding up Muslims in internment camps in the Xinjiang region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe US has no right to criticize China on this issue,\u201d the Chinese spokeswoman said, adding that the US lawmakers must \u201cfocus on their job \u2026 instead of trying to poke their nose in the business of other countries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She also pointed to the US\u2019 own racial discrimination issues, and said the country must stop trying to be \u201cthe judge of human rights and even threatening to impose unreasonable sanctions on other countries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported<\/a> on Wednesday that the letter by the 17 members of the US Congress had been sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, calling for travel and financial sanctions on the senior Chinese officials involved in the \u201cdetentions\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
