The U.S. warns of business dangers in the Xinjiang region of China By Michael Martina and David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. government on Tuesday warned companies of the high risks of supply chains and investment links to China’s Xinjiang region, citing forced labor and human rights violations. “Given the severity and extent of these abuses, businesses and individuals who do not exit supply chains, businesses, and / or investments related to Xinjiang may be at high risk of violating U.S. law,” the State Department said in a statement. Expressing broader coordination on the issue of the U.S. government, the Department of Labor and the U.S. Office of Trade Representatives teamed up to provide updated advice on the first release of the Trump administration on July 1, 2020 by the State Department of Commerce, Homeland Security and the Treasury.
