Uyghurs

The cry of never again was heard loud and clear after the Holocaust but today it is silent when it comes to the genocide of the 12 million Uyghurs who live in the Xinjiang province in China. These people who are mostly Muslims are treated like slaves. There are 83 companies, mostly American, that use the slave labor of Uyghurs to make their products. Americans are buying these products because they are cheaper. This is much like the American products that use rare earth metals mined in China where the mines are poisoning the drinking water for millions of Chinese people. The latest report titled “Uyghurs For Sale”, from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, reveals a vast network of companies complicit in the mass detention of Uighurs and other Turkic people. ASPI stated that it had found “27 factories in 9 Chinese provinces that are using Uyghur labor transferred from Xinjiang since 2017. Those factories claim to be part of the supply chain of 83 well-known global brands.” These companies use this cheap labor to increase profits and American consumers are complicit. This is just one more reason to make products here in the USA. Most people are not aware that the Nuremberg trials included the CEO's of German companies that helped the military.
