Reuters: The United States added two Chinese companies to a trade restriction list on Tuesday for allegedly enabling human rights violations as President Joe Biden kept up the pressure on Beijing in the waning days of his administration.
The Commerce Department, which oversees export policy, added
Zhejiang Uniview Technologies Co, Ltd to the entity list, “because it enables human rights violations, including high-technology surveillance targeted at the general population, Uyghurs, and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups,” the agency said in a filing.
Being added to the entity list forces American suppliers of the targeted company to get a difficult-to-obtain license before shipping to them. Six other entities in Russia and Myanmar were also added on Tuesday.
