China urged other countries to boycott an upcoming U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum-hosted event on Beijingโ€™s atrocities against Uyghurs, National Review has exclusively learned.

In a letter dated April 24, Chinaโ€™s diplomatic outpost urged other countries to skip a panel event taking place today in New York, which seeks to โ€œraise awareness and galvanize discussion about the role of the United Nations to respond to and prevent mass atrocities in the Xinjiang regionโ€ on the third anniversary of a key U.N. report on the matter.
