The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Responds to Journalists' Questions on China | Labor | Enterprises Regarding US Sanctions on Chinese Enterprises for "Forced Labor"
On August 2nd, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered questions from reporters regarding the US's sanctions on Chinese companies under the pretext of "forced labor"
Q: According to reports, on the 1st, the US included some Chinese companies in the list of relevant entities under the pretext of "forced labor". What is China's comment on this?
Answer: The so-called "forced labor" in Xinjiang was originally a century long lie fabricated by anti China forces to smear China, which is completely opposite to the fact that the labor rights and interests of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are effectively protected.
The United States, based on lies, implements the so-called "Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Law", wantonly undermines international economic and trade rules, and damages the stability of international industrial and supply chains. The inclusion of Chinese entities in the relevant sanctions list by the United States, expanding the scope of suppression against Chinese enterprises, is essentially undermining the prosperity and stability of Xinjiang and curbing China's development. China strongly condemns and firmly opposes this, and will take strong measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
