Reinhard Bütikofer discusses being sanctioned by China. The conversation will be co-moderated by our Craig Kennedy and Gary Schmitt.
On March 22, the Chinese government sanctioned five members of the European Parliaments, several other individuals, and a handful of organizations for criticizing Beijing's treatment of the Uighurs. One of the sanctioned MEPs is Reinhard Bütikofer, a leader of the Green faction in the Parliament and a long-time advocate for human rights. Bütikofer will reflect on the events leading up to this extraordinary action and the implications for European and German policy.
