> China has imposed retaliatory sanctions on six United States entities over Xinjiang. The ministry said the entities aided and abetted what it called Washington’s illegal sanctions against Xinjiang. It said their actions had produced an “extremely negative impact.” The measures therefore target US entities accused of supporting the Xinjiang-related sanctions. The announcement adds a new punitive step to tensions between China and the United States over the issue.
