Beijing calls on the United States to stop political manipulation and unreasonable pressure on Chinese enterprises. This was reported by China's Ministry of Commerce. Earlier, Washington imposed sanctions on another 29 Chinese companies, which the US authorities suspect of using forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
"The approach of the United States has no basis in fact, it is terrorism under the pretext of protecting human rights and is a typical example of economic coercion. China strongly condemns such an attitude and categorically opposes it, on which Beijing has sent strong statements to the United States." it was said in the department's message.
It is said that China strongly opposes forced labor and there is no so-called forced labor in Xinjiang. "The US, without any concrete evidence, has imposed sanctions on Chinese enterprises simply because they bought materials from Xinjiang or hired workers from Xinjiang. as a result of which the basic rights of the people of Xinjiang are seriously violated, the legal rights and interests of Xinjiang and related companies are damaged and the stability and security of supply chains is undermined," China's Ministry of Commerce added.
