PALO ALTO. U.S.-- Plans by Chinese artificial intelligence unicorn SenseTime Group to go public in Hong Kong are in jeopardy after the U.S. added the company to an investment blacklist over allegations that its technologies are used to enable repression of China's Uyghurs.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury on Friday announced new sanctions over alleged human rights abuses by China, Myanmar, North Korea, and Bangladesh, a move that included putting SenseTime on a list of "Chinese military-industrial complex companies."
