Chinese company rejects rights accusation after US sanctions

FILE - The flags of the U.S. and Chinese are displayed together on top of a trishaw in Beijing on Sept. 16, 2018. BGI Group, one of the world's biggest genetics analysis companies, said Sunday, March 5, 2023, it never would be involved in human rights abuses after the U.S. government said there was a danger some of its units might contribute to Chinese surveillance.

The U.S. decision “may have been impacted by misinformation and we are willing and able to clarify,” BGI Group said in an emailed response to questions. It didn't mention Uyghurs or other Muslim minorities but previously has denied it provided technology to surveil them. The “entity list” designation requires BGI Research, Forensic Genomics International and BGI Tech Solutions Co., Ltd. to obtain government permission to acquire sensitive U.S. technology.

Washington has accused China of trying to use civilian companies to obtain processor chip, aerospace and other technologies with possible military or security uses.
