This article is about Uyghurs, the Ethnic Minority, in China.
The Trump administration on Monday announced new restrictions on imports of apparel, hair products and technology goods from certain Chinese companies, saying those entities had used forced labour in the Xinjiang region to make their products.
The measure would allow U.S. customs agents to detain and potentially destroy goods brought into the country that are made by the named companies or entities in Xinjiang, a far western region where China has detained as many as a million Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in international camps and prisons.
While the move is likely to further inflame tensions between the United Stated and China, it stops short of a more sweeping ban on cotton and tomatoes produced in Xinjiang that the administration was poised to announce last week.
