Beijing: US forcibly depriving Xinjiang people of rights to work with egregious ’forced labor’ lies

Reuters: The US Department of Homeland Security banned imports from two Chinese companies for working with the government of Xinjiang to recruit, transport or receive forced labor of Uyghurs, Kazakhs or Kyrgyz out of Xinjiang. Does the Chinese side have any comment on this? Wang Wenbin: The so-called “forced labor” in Xinjiang is just an egregious lie propagated by anti-China forces. It is the complete opposite of the fact that the rights and interests at work of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are effectively protected. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is based on lies. It is yet another piece of evidence that the US violates international trade rules and destabilizes international industrial and supply chains. By adding Chinese entities to relevant sanction list and going after more Chinese companies, the US is creating “forced unemployment” in Xinjiang under the pretext of “forced labor”, and the ultimate goal is to undermine prosperity and stability in Xinjiang and contain China’s development. This has become quite clear to the world. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes this, and will take action to safeguard the lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
