Q: On October 28, EST, the US Department of Homeland Security announced the addition of 3 Chinese entities to the “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Law” entity list. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? A: We have taken note of the situation. There is no forced labor in China. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are free and equal in labor and employment, and their labor rights and interests are effectively protected according to law. The relevant US measures have no factual basis. The US side continues to manipulate the “human rights” issue and is actually carrying out unilateral protectionism and bullying under the guise of “human rights.” China strongly condemns this and resolutely opposes it. The US side recently added a large number of Chinese entities to the list of entities in the so-called border-related law. China made serious negotiations with the US side and resolutely countered them. However, the US side is ignorant of repentance. Despite China's firm opposition, it continues to implement new sanctions and add Chinese biomedical technology companies to the sanctions list. The US side's ordering practice deviates from the consensus reached by the heads of state of the two countries, seriously undermines the stability of Sino-US economic and trade relations, and also violates the spirit of humanitarianism. The US side should immediately stop political manipulation and discrediting attacks, and stop unjustifiably suppressing Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to firmly safeguard its own interests.
