(Reuters) – The United States on Thursday banned imports from five more Chinese companies over alleged human rights abuses involving the Uyghurs, according to a government posting, as part of its effort to eliminate goods made with forced labor from the U.S. supply chain.
The targeted companies include Hong Kong-based Rare Earth Magnesium Technology Group Holdings and Century Sunshine Group Holdings, and Xinjiang-based Xinjiang Tengxian Magnesium Products Co, which manufacture magnesium fertilizer and magnesium alloy products.
