The Chinese government on Friday denounced a U.S. law that restricts imports from Xinjiang as a violation of international law and dismissed complaints of abuses against mostly Muslim minorities in the northwestern region as lies.
President Joe Biden signed the measure Thursday amid mounting tension including appeals by activists for a boycott of February바카라s Winter Olympics in Beijing. It prohibits U.S. businesses from importing goods from Xinjiang unless they can be proven not to have been made by forced labor.
The measure 바카라maliciously denigrates the human rights situation in China바카라s Xinjiang in disregard of facts and truth,바카라 said a foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian.
바카라It seriously violates international law and basic norms governing international relations and grossly interferes in China바카라s internal affairs,바카라 Zhao said. 바카라China deplores and firmly rejects this.바카라
Foreign governments and researchers say more than 1 million Uyghurs and other minorities have been confined in camps in Xinjiang in China바카라s northwest. Chinese officials are accused of using forced abortions, forced labor and mass indoctrination.
Chinese officials reject the accusations and say the camps are meant for job training and to combat radicalism.
The accusations are 바카라vicious lies concocted by anti-China forces,바카라 said Zhao, the spokesman. 바카라Residents of all ethnic groups there enjoy happy and fulfilling lives.바카라
Chinese state media have criticized foreign shoe, clothing and other brands that express concern about Xinjiang and publicized calls for boycotts of their goods.
On Thursday, chipmaker Intel Corp. apologized for asking suppliers to avoid sourcing goods from Xinjiang, a major source of silica used in processor chips. Global Times, a newspaper published by the ruling party, called the company바카라s request 바카라arrogant and vicious.바카라
