US bans imports from China-based Ninestar over Uyghurs
The U.S. has banned imports from China-based printer maker Ninestar Corp and chemical company Xingjang Zhongtai over alleged human rights abuses targeting China's Uyghurs and other persecuted groups.
The ban was implemented as part of the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act , which prohibits imports produced in Xinjiang or by companies identified on an UFLPA Entity List, unless the importer can prove the goods were not produced with forced labor.
Twenty-Two companies are currently on the list, and DHS has examined over $1.
