Hikvision Exits Controversial Xinjiang Contracts Amid Sanctions

Hikvision has terminated five contracts with local government authorities in Xinjiang, as it braces for the second term of US President-elect Donald Trump, who first put Hikvision on a trade blacklist in 2019.
The projects have been completed since 2018 and entered a maintenance phase, according to Hikvision.
The five Hikvision subsidiaries will continue to work on clearing debts and receivables, but will no longer engage in other business activities, the company added.
Hikvision ended the contracts for its public security projects in the far-western region of China, where local subsidiaries signed the deals with municipal governments in the region in 2017.
