China’s CATL says has no suppliers from Xinjiang region
SHANGHAI, Nov 26 (Reuters) – Chinese battery company CATL (300750.SZ), said on Tuesday that it did not have any suppliers from the Xinjiang region, in response to comments made by Republican John Moolenaar.
The U.S. banned on Friday food, metals and other imports from about 30 more Chinese companies over alleged forced labor involving the Uyghurs. Moolenaar, who chairs the House Select Committee on China, said two of the firms, Xinjiang Nonferrous and Xinjiang Joinworld, were CATL suppliers.
CATL said it did not have any connections to the two firms and that it did not have any suppliers at all from the Xinjiang region. It added that it strictly complied with all laws and regulations in all markets including the U.S.
