Xinjiang resolution against US sanctions takes effect highlighting U.S. attempts of suppressing local enterprises.
A resolution opposing a series of U.S. sanctions related to Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and supporting affected companies was introduced and took effect on Monday, according to regional legislators.
The resolution aims to expose the U.S.’s intentions behind the sanctions to both the international community and the people of Xinjiang. It highlights the U.S.’s suppression of local enterprises and its attempts to undermine Xinjiang’s social stability and development while supporting the growth of sanctioned enterprises and related industries.
Local authorities noted that the U.S.-sanctioned enterprises, accused of “forced labor,” are key players in Xinjiang’s advantageous industries, significantly contributing to job creation in rural areas and increasing farmers’ incomes.
The so-called “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act,” effective since June 2022, prohibits the entry of Xinjiang goods into the U.S. under the pretext of combating “forced labor.”
The resolution urges local authorities to firmly oppose these baseless sanctions and provide support to affected enterprises and industries, encouraging them to thrive as a matter of principle and duty.
It also encourages the sanctioned enterprises to remain vigilant, build confidence in overcoming these challenges, and actively respond to the U.S.’s unreasonable provocations and sanctions.
Employment is a fundamental human right and reflects respect for labor rights. However, the U.S. and some Western countries have made baseless accusations against China’s production methods, negatively impacting the normal export of local products, according to Wang Sixin, a human rights expert and law professor at the Communication University of China.
