WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The United States has banned imports from another tranche of Chinese companies over alleged human-rights abuses involving the Uyghurs, targeting 37 textile, mining and solar companies, the Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday.

The companies include Huafu Fashion Co., one of the world's largest textile manufacturers, and 25 of its subsidiaries, which the U.S. has linked to forced-labor practices in China's cotton industry.
