U.S. Adds 43 Chinese Firms to Forced Labor Blacklist

The U.S. has added 43 more Chinese companies to an import blacklist over alleged rights abuses of Uyghur and other ethnic minority groups in Xinjiang, marking the single largest-ever expansion of the roster.

The addition brings the total number of listed entities to 187, underscoring Washington’s continued efforts to enforce the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) that created the blacklist.
