US ban on Xinjiang imports comes into force

A new US law that imposes a near-blanket ban on imports from China's Xinjiang province comes into force this Tuesday. Companies now have to prove that goods they bought from the region were not made with forced labour. Beijing accuses Washington of fabricating accusations of human rights abuses. Plus, the EU urges member states not to backtrack on their commitment to fight climate change, as several nations including Germany decide to burn more coal to replace Russian gas.
