Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya is Under Fire for saying that he - and most Americans - " don't care" about abuses against the Uyghur minority in China.
Mr Palihapitiya, a part-owner of San Francisco 's basketball team, made the comments during a podcast discussion of whether President Joe Biden 's action on the issue had helped him politically.
The remarks drew Social Media backlash.
Mr Palihapitiya later admitted that his comments " lacked empathy".

" China takes comfort knowing that corporate executives have their back and will continue this genocide. "
