US bans imports from three Chinese genomics companies, citing forced labor
The United States has recently imposed a ban on imports from three Chinese genomics companies due to their alleged involvement with the Xinjiang government in the forced labor of Uyghur and other ethnic minorities. BGI Genomics Co. Ltd, MGI Tech Co Ltd, and Shenzhen BGI Technology Co Ltd, also known as the BGI Group, have been added to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
These entities are identified for their use or facilitation of forced labor in the Xinjiang region, an allegation Beijing has consistently denied.
