The U.S. Commerce Department on Friday added 14 Chinese companies to its Entity List, for direct involvement in human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), saying they have “enabled Beijing’s campaign of repression, mass detention, and high-technology surveillance” against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and members of other Muslim minority groups.
The action restricts the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of commodities, software, and technology subject to U.S. export regulations in cases in which the entities are a party to the transactions.
“The Department of Commerce remains firmly committed to taking strong, decisive action to target entities that are enabling human rights abuses in Xinjiang or that use U.S. technology to fuel China’s destabilizing military modernization efforts,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo in a statement.
