Just two companies, actually, Baowu Group Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel, and Changzhou Guanghui Food Ingredients (aspartame maker).
Now do all forced labor goods. Shut half the god damn world down and put an actual dent in climate change maybe.
That would require increasing government regulations on the major companies in the world; the owner-class would not allow that to happen; that would cut into their profits too much.
There is a reason lobbying is ‘legal’.
The Green New Deal was created by the Green Party, then watered down for a Democrat version.
The duopoly is bought by these corporations.
Allegations
lol
If you want to be taken seriously with news about “official enemies”, don’t post from overt propaganda sources like VOA.
Every time I hear about Uyghurs, I get reminded of the good work independent journalists do.
Specifically this article, Max Blumenthal | April 30, 2021: https://thegrayzone.com/2021/04/30/xinjiang-forced-labor-china-uyghur/
The Grayzone: Independent news and investigative journalism on politics and empire.
The editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, Max Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including best-selling Republican Gomorrah, Goliath, The Fifty One Day War, and The Management of Savagery. He has produced print articles for an array of publications, many video reports, and several documentaries, including Killing Gaza. Blumenthal founded The Grayzone in 2015 to shine a journalistic light on America’s state of perpetual war and its dangerous domestic repercussions.
The additions to the entity list under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act marked the first time a China-based steel company or aspartame sweetener business had been targeted by U.S. law enforcement, DHS said.
The federal law that President Joe Biden signed at the end of 2021 followed allegations of human rights abuses by Beijing against members of the ethnic Uyghur group and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang. The Chinese government has rejected the claims as lies and has defended its practice and policy in Xinjiang as fighting terror and ensuring stability.
The new approach marked a shift in the U.S. trade relationship with China to increasingly take into account national security and human rights. Beijing has accused the U.S. of using human rights as a pretext to suppress China’s economic growth.
Since June 2022, the entity list has grown to 75 companies accused of using forced labor in Xinjiang or sourcing materials tied to that forced labor, Homeland Security said.
