Not XinJiang, but after British and American companies refused to sell weapons to Hong Kong Police , they turned to French and Swedish companies which happily sold them whatever they wanted [1][2].

  That article mentions a Swiss company, but I don't see any mention of Sweden. Is this a mistake of yours or am I missing something? I guess a mistake since you seem to have forgotten a link.

    My bad, I was looking for source of the second claim (French supplies) before getting interrupted. Now I'm unable to edit my comment. My claim that France supplied weapons to Hong Kong Police recently was not correct. The "Water Cannon" truck they use was Mercedes Benz made in France [1].
