China denounces US law on Xinjiang imports

China also dismissed complaints of abuses against Uyghurs as lies
The Chinese government on Friday denounced a US law that restricts imports from Xinjiang as a violation of international law and dismissed complaints of abuses against mostly Muslim minorities in the northwestern region as lies.
President Joe Biden signed the measure Thursday amid mounting tension including appeals by activists for a boycott of February's Winter Olympics in Beijing. It prohibits US businesses from importing goods from Xinjiang unless they can be proven not to have been made by forced labour.
The measure “maliciously denigrates the human rights situation in China's Xinjiang in disregard of facts and truth,” said a foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian.
