The country with legal slavery is acting on rumours that foreign countries aren’t enforcing their own laws well enough? Feels like there’s some ulterior motif, hard to put my finger on what though.

“We do not tolerate companies that use forced labor, that abuse the human rights of individuals in order to make a profit,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in the statement.

Oh cool, that must mean they’ll also put an end to for-profit prisons!

If they want to stop incentivizing the use of forced labor, they have $11Bn of it domestically that they protect and expand every year.

Is this the same genocide that’s not recognized by any Muslim country?

Money > standing up for random people who are being mistreated in a country far away from you.

zephyreks ,

Ah yes, because that usually leads to unanimous decisions in countries that are literally founded on the basis of preserving Islam.

bingbong ,

Yes, because the saints that run those countries are totally Muslim 😉🙄

Those dirty brown people can’t be bothered to look up from the wads of blood money for two seconds to actually care about their peers. The only country that cares about muslims is the one that purposefully killed millions of civilian muslims over the last two decades in an effort to put pressure on their enemies to surrender. Enemies that we’re told don’t value human life.

The State Department later on Tuesday updated its business advisory on the Xingjiang supply chain to call attention to China’s “ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang and the evidence of widespread use of forced labor there.”

Did they change their minds about this?

Genuinely, yes. That's the nature of having to publish a report before you can do all of your investigating. The State Department releases a report in roughly the middle of each year called "Report on International Religious Freedom". I don't know if there's one for every country every year, but they definitely release one for a lot of countries, and they definitely release one for Xinjiang specifically every year. The reports on Xinjiang go from no mention of genocide in 2019, the possibility of genocide and an ongoing investigation in 2020 (the most recent one when the article you linked was written), and "it looks like genocide and we think that China's political leadership is doing it intentionally" since then.

Good thing the UN told them to fuck off.

Skua ,

They didn't call it genocide, but they're pretty seriously critical of China's actions in Xinjiang

A good occasion to remember that a lot of major US companies use slave labor at home, and the government does nothing about it.

This isn’t about human right, it’s just economic warfare.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON, Sept 26 (Reuters) - The United States restricted imports from three more Chinese companies on Tuesday as part of an effort to eliminate goods made with the forced labor of Uyghur minorities from the U.S. supply chain.

“We do not tolerate companies that use forced labor, that abuse the human rights of individuals in order to make a profit,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in the statement.

The three companies were designated for working with the government of Xinjiang to recruit and transport, harbor or use the forced labor of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other persecuted groups out of the region, the United States said.

U.S. officials believe Chinese authorities have established labor camps for Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in China’s western Xinjiang region.

The State Department later on Tuesday updated its business advisory on the Xingjiang supply chain to call attention to China’s “ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang and the evidence of widespread use of forced labor there.”

It stressed the urgency for businesses to take due diligence measures, including identifying, assessing and acting on forced labor and human rights risks for workers.
