While the United Nations was convening its 78th General Assembly on Manhattan’s Upper East Side with an address from President Joe Biden on Sept. 19, another forum was gathered in Midtown’s St. Regis Hotel. That group noted that in the year since the international body concluded that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may be engaging in “crimes against humanity” against Uyghurs and other Muslim Turkic peoples, nothing has happened. Nothing, that is, except continued reports of CCP “crimes against humanity” against Uyghurs and other Muslim Turkic peoples, forum speakers said. “You know, I think the stories about Xinjiang have faded a little from the headlines or from the front pages. Despite all of the different policies and proposals and speeches, it has slipped down a little bit as a political priority,” said The Economist Senior Editor Gady Epstein, who moderated a nearly three-hour panel discussion designed to prod “a robust international response to the atrocities against the Uyghurs.”...Read more https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/human-rights-groups-demand-united-nations-sanction-china-for-uyghur-repression-5494797
A Shanghai company with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) background is building mega-solar power plants near Japan’s most important U.S. military base in Iwakuni. The city’s council member raised the alarm that the CCP was posing a threat to national security.

Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni is the most paramount U.S. military facility in the Far East, shared by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.... 
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) has sent a second letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging the State Department to extend a formal invitation to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen to a U.S.-hosted summit in November. The Sept. 19 letter, co-signed by 24 House Republicans, stated that Ms. Tsai should be entitled to a seat at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders’ summit in San Francisco, despite opposition from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). “Denying the inclusion of Taiwanese leadership in APEC will only further embolden the CCP and be remembered as an immense failure of the Biden administration’s mission to uphold peace and stability in the region,” the letter says....
NEW YORK—When international human rights leaders held a panel adjacent to the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) crimes against humanity in their treatment of Uyghurs and other minorities, they knew Beijing was taking note. The weekend ahead of the Sept. 19 panel, the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the U.N. sent a letter to potential attendees, blasting the event as “anti-China” slander and based on “conspiracies” and strongly recommending member states not attend. “It’s essentially confirming that it’s got a lot to hide, and it knows it,” said Sophie Richardson, China director of Human Rights Watch, at the event....
