China Slams U.S. Forced Labor Entity List as 'Economic Coercion'
China's Commerce Ministry has rejected the U.S. addition of Chinese firms to the UFLPA entity list, calling it an unfounded act of economic coercion based on domestic law.
China’s Commerce Ministry has pushed back against the latest U.S. additions to the entity list tied to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, stating there is no factual basis for the designations.
The ministry described the U.S. move as a "typical act of economic coercion" that relies on domestic legislation, without providing immediate details on possible retaliatory steps.
