WASHINGTON—The Trump administration on Oct. 7 placed 28 Chinese public security bureaus and companies—including video surveillance company Hikvision and seven other companies—on a U.S. trade blacklist over Beijing’s treatment of Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities.
Those added to the so-called “Entity List” include the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region People’s Government Public Security Bureau, 19 subordinate government agencies, and eight commercial firms, according to a U.S. Commerce Department filing.
