The US and Israel have sanctioned three Chinese companies for so-called "forced labor". Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China firmly opposes and strongly condemns

On June 12, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian said, "The United States has once again concocted and spread false narratives related to Xinjiang, and imposed illegal sanctions on Chinese enterprises under the guise of human rights. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns it." Lin Jian said that Xinjiang's development achievements are obvious to all. Based on lies, the United States has persistently implemented evil laws related to Xinjiang, included Chinese enterprises in the relevant sanctions list, seriously interfered in China's internal affairs, seriously disrupted the normal order of the market, and seriously violated international trade rules and basic norms of international relations. In essence, it is an attempt to create forced unemployment in Xinjiang. In the name of human rights, it violates the rights of the Xinjiang people to subsistence, employment and development. Its sinister intentions of using Xinjiang to control China are obvious. We urge the US to immediately stop slandering and smearing China, lift its illegal unilateral sanctions against Chinese companies, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs and harming China's interests under the guise of human rights. China will continue to take resolute measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
