US State Department spokesperson Ned Price has said that Washington continues to stand up for democratic values when human rights are being violated in Xinjiang, Tibet, and elsewhere in China, and autonomy is being trampled in Hong Kong.
“We’ll continue to stand up for democratic values when human rights are being violated in Xinjiang, Tibet and elsewhere in China, and autonomy is being trampled in Hong Kong. We’ll approach China through the prism of competition from a position of strength,” he said.
Talking about Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), Price said it is an example of the US and “our closest partners pulling together for the good of free and open Indo-Pacific”.
“Quad is an example of the US and our closest partners pulling together for the good of free and open Indo-Pacific. Quad has essential momentum and important potential.”
