US Adds Three More Chinese Companies to Uyghur Forced Labor List

The move brings the total number of companies on the list to 30, as the US continues to scrutinize shipments for ties to forced labor.

The US has added three more Chinese companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, bringing the total to 30.
The companies added are COFCO Sugar Holding, Sichuan Jingweida Technology Group, and Anhui Xinya New Materials, which produce a range of goods from sugar to network transformers to yarn.
Since June 2022, US Customs and Border Protection has reviewed over 6,000 shipments valued at more than $2 billion as a result of the Act.
The Act denies entry to goods from listed companies unless they can prove they were not produced with or tied to forced labor.
US officials believe Chinese authorities have established labor camps for Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in China's western Xinjiang region, a claim that Beijing denies.
