Reception
In December 2023, in response to new US government sanctions on PRC officials and companies over human rights abuses in Xinjiang, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs imposed counter sanctions on former C4ADS analyst Nicole Morgret, risk analytics firm Kharon, and its research director Edmund Xu for their work related to Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act compliance.[3][4][5]
