The Biden administration has blacklisted a Chinese video surveillance company that officials say is implicated in the repression of Uyghurs in China and that provided U.S.-made technology to Iran.

While there have been reports of health workers protesting over unpaid salaries following China's policy change, the video has circulated online since at least May this year, months before major protests against pandemic restrictions broke out.
