China Denies US Accusation of Forced Labor in Xinjiang China's Ministry of Commerce has dismissed US accusations of forced labor in Xinjiang, calling them unfounded and an act of economic coercion.
This response is consistent with Beijing's history of downplaying human rights abuses in the region.
The US has sanctioned 43 Chinese companies over alleged human rights abuses, adding them to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List.
