Sri Lanka-born billionaire says 'nobody cares about what's happening to Uighurs'

Sri Lankan-born Canadian venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya faced criticism after he said in a podcast, "Nobody cares about what's happening to Uighurs [in China]." "Of all the things that I care about, yes, it's below my line," he stated. In a statement released later, he said he re-listened to the podcast and recognised that he came across as "lacking empathy".
