US Issues Business Advisory Over Human Rights Abuses in China

VOA News

   The United States on Wednesday issued a business advisory to U.S.
   companies alerting them to potential risks of maintaining supply chains
   associated with documented human rights abuses in China's western
   Xinjiang province.

   Issued by the State, Treasury, Commerce and Homeland Security
   departments, the [1]statement urges companies to pressure China to
   accept responsibility for rights abuses experienced by Muslim Uighurs
   in the province.

   China is also under fire for its recent passing of a new security law
   in Hong Kong, which criminalizes dissent more than a year after
   protesters began demanding more democratic rights.
