The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don’t use prison labor than the ones that do.
All fair points but it doesn’t excuse China’s abuse within Xinjiang
China should start santioning US companies… The lols would be good at least
The real reason the US government sanctioned Xinjiang products was to make the people of Xinjiang suffer economically, to try to further destabilize the region.
The US funded and helped organize, radicalize, and train the terrorists that attacked Xinjiang in the first place, in the hopes of destabilizing China and/or causing the Xinjiang region to break away. No one in the West seems to know about or remember the bombings, knifings, and vehicular slaughters that these domestic terrorists brought upon their own communities in Xinjiang around roughly 2008 to 2015.
The US doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the well-being of the Uyghur people any more than it gives a rat’s ass about the Palestinian people. When it pretends to care it’s nothing but propaganda.
China’s Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday that PVH Corp. must provide documentation and evidence within 30 days to show it did not engage in discriminatory practices
That’s one way of saying they want this US company to provide proof they don’t comply with US sanctions.
I don’t understand what they’re realistically hoping for. Forcing them to pick between operating in the US or operating in China?
At least this is putting a spotlight on the genocide of Uyghurs.
This is just another blatant propaganda campaign by China. The government in Beijing obscures its domestic supply chains, and there is much evidence for grave human rights violations and crimes against humanity in China, particularly in Xinjiang and Tibet.
