China blasts US forced labour claims as 'groundless' after import ban
China condemned US import bans on 37 additional Chinese companies, calling the forced labour allegations 'malicious' and 'groundless.' The US Department of Homeland Security's move targets firms involved in mining and processing minerals, textile manufacturing, and solar module production in Xinjiang, where Beijing is accused of detaining Uyghurs. China vows to protect its firms' rights and interests.
