The United States has added two subsidiaries of Chinese genetics company BGI to a trade blacklist over allegations it conducted genetic analysis and surveillance activities for Beijing, which Washington says was used to repress ethnic minorities in China

The US Department of Commerce, which oversees export controls, said in a statement that BGI Research and BGI Tech Solutions “present a significant risk of diversion to China’s military programs.

In 2020, the US Department of Commerce added two other BGI affiliates, Xinjiang Silk Road BGI and Beijing Liuhe BGI, to the trade blacklist over their alleged involvement in human right abuses against Uyghur and other mainly Muslim minorities in China’s far western region of Xinjiang. BGI Group issued a statement at the time denying the allegations, saying it “does not engage in unethical practices and does not provide gene technology for the surveillance of Uighurs.

The US should find more absurd pretexts to use to sanction Chinese companies, the rise of China is unstoppable whether the US likes it or not.

Please, don't give white supremacists any more crazy ideas!

The United States of America conducts diplomatic interventions targeting other countries, especially China. Few countries and governments intervene more blatantly than the USA. China and Russia will not intervene diplomatically in USA racial or human rights issues.🖕🇺🇸

We cannot block The US but someday, the country would be blocked by itself.
