The US places 28 Chinese companies and bureaus on a trade blacklist over Beijing's treatment of Uyghurs.

Australia's Foreign Minister and members of the Uyghur community condemned a video that purports to show a mass transfer of Uyghur men — their heads freshly shaved —blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs in Xinjiang.

The Chinese video surveillance company Hikvision, the Xinjiang Government's Public Security Bureau and 19 subordinate government agencies were added to the list, according to a Commerce Department filing. "The US Government and Department of Commerce cannot and will not tolerate the brutal suppression of ethnic minorities within China," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said.

"Entities have been implicated in human rights violations and abuses in the implementation of China's campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, and high-technology surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups." While US officials said the announcement was not tied to this week's resumption of trade talks with China, the announcement set the tone for a potentially more-aggressive positioning from Washington.
