A video showing men sitting blindfolded and shackled in rows while waiting at a train station with police overseers has gone viral, raising fresh concerns about genocide and forced labor against the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang, China.
According to reports, most of these men will end up as forced laborers in factories, working not only for the Chinese but for North American and European companies like Apple, Amazon, Calvin Klein, H&M, BMW, Cisco, Microsoft, Nike, Lenovo, Sony, Skechers, Volkswagen, and many, many others.
It’s possible that the iPhones many have in their pockets might have been made, in part, by a Uighur man or woman who has been forcibly separated from his or her family and “re-educated” by the Communist Party. |
