The US unveiled trade restrictions Tuesday on eight companies, including two Chinese firms and several from Russia, alleging human rights violations.
The U.S. Commerce Department has imposed trade restrictions on several Chinese and Russian companies, including the Chinese genetics company BGI and Russian electronics firm AO Kaspersky Lab, due to allegations of human rights abuses and national security concerns. These measures are part of a broader effort to address human rights violations and prevent the misuse of technology. Specifically, BGI's units were targeted for their involvement in collecting genetic data from millions, potentially aiding in surveillance and repression by the Chinese government. Meanwhile, Kaspersky Lab faces restrictions due to fears that its cybersecurity products could be exploited by Russian intelligence. The actions reflect ongoing tensions between the U.S. and these nations over issues of security, privacy, and human rights.
