Beijing, August 1 /Xinhua/ — On Saturday, the Ministry of Commerce of China expressed serious condemnation and strong protest against the recent statement by the United States on including more than 40 Chinese entities in the so-called “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List.”
The actions of the United States have no factual basis, as they continue to abuse the so-called “human rights” and pretexts of “forced labor” to impose unilateral sanctions against Chinese enterprises based on their own domestic legislation, an official representative of the ministry stated, adding that such a step represents a typical economic coercion.
According to the official representative, the US measures seriously undermine the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, as well as negatively affect the stability of global production chains and supply chains.
The official representative specifically noted that on July 30, senior representatives from China and the United States on trade and economic matters held a video conference session during which both parties conducted a frank, in-depth, and constructive exchange of views on measures to maintain the stability of bilateral trade and economic relations.
However, just one day after the dialogue, the United States implemented these malicious measures that harm China’s interests and seriously violate the consensus reached by the heads of the two states, he added.
China consistently opposes forced labor, and currently, Xinjiang ensures social stability, economic development, and peaceful life for the population; there are no manifestations of so-called “forced labor” there, emphasized the official representative.
He called on the United States to immediately cease its attacks and slander on Xinjiang, to stop manipulating the issue of so-called “forced labor,” and to halt the unwarranted suppression of Chinese enterprises.
China will take necessary measures to decisively protect the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises, an official representative said.
