Combatting Slavery In China

A report published on February 14 revealed that the Chinese Communist Party is continuing to target and enslave Uyghurs through an expansion of forced labor in China.

Forced labor systems in Xinjiang - punishable by detention for non-compliance - are a key part of removing resistance and opposition to the CCP's absolute authority and power.

"Xinjiang's recent policy changes have rendered forced labor less visible and more challenging to conceptualize," Zenz wrote.

"Uyghur forced labor is becoming both more prevalent and more insidious."

The law prohibits goods made by the Chinese Communist Party's forced labor programs from entering the U.S. market.

First, the members wrote, "Companies transfer forced laborers from [Xinjiang] to other regions in the People's Republic of China, complicating enforcement of the presumptive ban on forced labor products from [Xinjiang]." Additionally, "A second factor undermining enforcement of the [law] is Beijing's increased transshipment of forced labor products to the United States through third countries."

As the Chinese Communist Party continues to target Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in China, the United States must strengthen the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and resolve to pass the Uyghur Policy Act into law.
