China’s U.N. mission, in a secret, sternly worded letter this week, urged the global body’s other members to boycott an event that will put Beijing’s atrocities against Uyghurs front and center during next week’s high-profile U.N. General Assembly debate, National Review has exclusively learned.

The note, issued to all other countries’ U.N. outposts on Monday, said the Chinese mission “has the honor to express our resolute opposition to this event and strongly recommend your mission NOT to participate in this anti-China event.”
