US Seeks to Sanction More Companies for Using Forced Labor in China, Says Official

U.S. Department of Homeland Security wants to add more companies to sanctions list for using forced labor in China's Xinjiang region.

Another priority is to persuade like-minded countries in Europe, Japan, Australia, India and others to pursue enforcement regimes similar to those of the United States.

Beijing denies allegations by rights groups and governments of forced labor and internment of Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic minority.
