German chemicals giant BASF said Tuesday it had exited two joint ventures in China's Xinjiang region after its local partner was alleged to have participated in rights abuses against the local Uyghur minority. BASF said at the time it had no indication that employees of the joint ventures were involved in rights violations, only staff of its local partner.
