China warned the US that a law banning imports from Xinjiang unless companies prove they’re free of forced labor would “severely” damage ties, escalating a dispute between the nations over human rights.
“If the act is implemented, it will severely disrupt normal cooperation between China and the US, and global industrial and production chains,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Thursday at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
