Beijing: US use of made-up story of ’forced labor’ in Xinjiang to ban China firms, disrupt trade

Bloomberg: The Department of Homeland Security is expanding its scrutiny of solar companies in the US. It’s asking for more information about their supply chains. This would appear to be an indication that the Biden Administration is poised to toughen its enforcement of a ban on products linked to Chinese “forced labor.” How does the Ministry respond to this? Mao Ning: We’ve stated on multiple occasions that the so-called “forced labor” in Xinjiang is nothing but an egregious lie. The US uses the made-up story of “forced labor” to enforce the malicious legislation on Xinjiang and create “forced unemployment” in the region. Such moves seriously violate people’s basic human rights in Xinjiang and the international trade rules. They have also disrupted global industrial and supply chains. The US needs to immediately stop smearing China, stop meddling in China’s internal affairs under the pretext of human rights and stop politicizing and weaponizing economic and trade issues. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
