Jen Psaki on imposing trade sanctions against Xinjiang, China

We believe the private sector and the international community should oppose PR- — the PRC’s weaponizing of its markets to stifle support for human rights. 

We also think that American companies should never feel the need to apologize for standing up for fundamental human rights or opposing repression. 

As we’ve said before, we call on all industries to ensure that they are not sourcing products that involve forced labor, invol- — including forced labor from Xinjiang.
