DHS Blocks Chinese Genomics Companies Linked to Forced Labor from U.S. Supply Chains

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the addition of three affiliated Chinese genomics companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List. This action prohibits goods made by these companies from entering the United States unless importers can demonstrate they were not produced with forced labor. The FLETF determined these companies assist the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region government in mass surveillance and repression of ethnic minorities through genetic testing.
