This is the best summary I could come up with:
NEW YORK, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The United States restricted imports from three more Chinese companies, including COFCO Sugar Holding, over forced labor practices involving Uyghurs and other minorities in China, the U.S. government said on Friday.
The companies - which produce everything from sugar to network transformers to yarn - will be added to the Ugyhur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, said a posting in the Federal Register.
The list restricts the import of goods tied to what the U.S. government has characterized as an ongoing genocide of minorities in China’s Xinjiang region.
The addition of COFCO Sugar Holding (600737.SS), Sichuan Jingweida Technology Group and Anhui Xinya New Materials will bring the total number of companies on the list to 30.
Chinese embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said the action was “based on lies” and that the U.S. was “essentially undermining Xinjiang’s prosperity and stability and curbing China’s development.”
U.S. officials believe Chinese authorities have established labor camps for Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in China’s western Xinjiang region.
