U.S. President Joe Biden had on Thursday signed into law legislation that would ban imports from China's Xinjiang region over worries about enforced labour.

In reaction this Friday, China's commerce ministry expressed "strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition" to the U.S. ban on imports from Xinjiang region. As reported by the state news agency Xinhua, the ministry described the action by the United States as "economic bullying".

Meanwhile, China had dismissed these accusations of abuses in Xinjiang.
