Western sanctions on China over Xinjiang trigger furious response

The United States, the European Union, UK and Canada have jointly placed sanctions on Chinese officials for human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims in the Xinjiang region.
Beijing in turn issued sanctions on several European politicians.
Human rights groups have accused the Chinese government of abuses against Uighurs detained in camps in Xinjiang but Beijing has denied all allegations.
