ABC News Online: Apple, Nike and other major companies implicated in Muslim forced labour in China
Dozens of popular companies including Apple, Nike, Adidas, Uniqlo and Skechers have suppliers linked to forced labour in China involving Muslim minorities, according to a new report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI).
Drawing upon open-source Chinese language documentation, satellite imagery, media reporting and academic research, the report entitled Uyghurs for Sale identifies some 83 well-known consumer brands linked to factories where Muslim minorities are thought to be working in forced labour conditions across China.
It reports that 80,000 Uyghur workers were transferred out of Xinjiang between 2017 and 2019, claiming that people are being effectively "bought" and "sold" by local governments and commercial brokers.

WNU Editor: This is nothing new. I have been reading reports of Chinese forced labour AND child labour for years. I even witnessed this in a quarry in Fujian province in 1988. These major brands are also aware on who is making their products, but they have choose to ignore it. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) report is here ....

Everything old is new again.
Wnu,
You realize of course the people you saw were caught by the Chinese fashion police, wearing shorts in public.
Wow where are the social justice warriors and Don the Lemon on this? Oh right because it doesn't fit their racism narrative. That people still watch cnn. Or msnbc. They were literally manipulated for years and still hold on to their old programming of "republicans bad, we good", ignoring all the lies, buying into all of these false narratives. The corruption in plain sight. Even my little parrot Fred L. has lately been seeing things differently I want to believe (Out of respect to his improved civility I'll not mention his full name, and also please note the endearing attribute little. Not mean to your, Fred, glad you've awaken a bit. .I'm sure you'll see all pieces fall together soon when the Democrats either nominate Bernie and destroy what you believe in, or sabotage the process and make biden the candidate using superdelegagtes instead of the popular vote that Bernie seems to get. .but whatever. .polls will be shown and used again. You know the drill. You've seen it. Now wake up :))
