The Trump administration has blocked imports from Chinese biotech firm BGI Group and its affiliates, citing alleged ties to forced labor in Xinjiang. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will prevent goods from BGI Group, BGI Genomics, and MGI Tech from entering the country, based on information suggesting they sourced materials from Xinjiang or participated in forced labor practices targeting ethnic minorities. China has vehemently denied these accusations, labeling the ban as "political manipulation" and a violation of international relations, while BGI Group also refuted the claims. AI
