The US strengthens business risk warnings in the Xinjiang China region

WASHINGTON: The US government strengthens the warning on the business of increasing the risk of supply chains and investment links to the Xinjiang China region on Tuesday, quoting forced violations and human rights violations there.
“Given the severity and level of this violation, business and individuals who do not come out of the supply chain, business, and / or investment connected with Xinjiang can carry out high risk to violate US law,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.
The broader signaling of the US government coordination on this issue, the Labor Department and US trade representatives joined the updated advisory issuance, first released on July 1, 2020, under the Trump administration by the State, Trade, Homeland Security Department, and Treasury.
New advisers strengthen warnings to US companies, noting that they risk violating US law if their operations are connected even “indirectly” to “broad and developing network of supervision” in Xinjiang.
Warning also applies to the provision of financial support by venture capital and private equity companies.
This was also summarized from the previously announced actions taken by Biden to deal with forced labor and violations of other rights in Xinjiang, including US customs and border protection prohibitions on the import of solar equipment from the area and Xinjiang entity.
This step follows the action on Friday where the administration adds 14 Chinese companies and other entities with a black list of its economy for alleged human rights violations and high-tech supervision in Xinjiang.
The advisor said the Chinese government continued “terrible violations” in Xinjiang and elsewhere “targeting uyghurs, ethnic Kyrgyz, and Kirgistan ethnicom dominated by Muslims, and members of ethnic and religious minority groups.” China denied violations and said it had established a vocational training center in Xinjiang to overcome religious extremism.
