US blacklists 11 Chinese firms over China's treatment of Uighurs

The US has added 11 Chinese companies to an export blacklist for their alleged involvement in "human rights violations" in China's Xinjiang and supporting a "campaign of repression" against Uighur Muslims. It said nine of the firms were involved in forced-labour activities involving Uighurs and other Muslim minority groups. These include Nanchang O-film Tech, a supplier to companies like Apple.
