The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) added three China-based entities across the seafood, aluminum, and footwear industries to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List.

Entities added were Dongguan Oasis Shoes, Shandong Meijia Group, and Xinjiang Shenhuo Coal and Electricity.
