The United States blocked four companies and a manufacturing facility located in China’s Xinjiang region Monday from shipping any of their products to the U.S. because of their suspected use of forced labor.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued five “Withhold Release Orders” (WRO) on imports from companies that produce cotton, clothing and computer parts in the Xinjiang region of China, according to the Associated Press (AP). CBP said the Chinese government engages in “systemic human rights abuses against the Uyghur people and other ethnic and religious minorities,” according to an official statement.
“By taking this action, DHS is combating illegal and inhumane forced labor, a type of modern slavery, used to make goods that the Chinese government then tries to import into the United States,” acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said, per the CBP statement.
CBP said the freeze was implemented to combat “inhumane and exploitative practices of forced labor in U.S. supply chains.” CBP said their data indicates the “re-education” internment camps are actually used to provide forced labor to numerous companies.
“It is a concentration camp, a place where religious and ethnic minorities are subject to abuse and forced to work in heinous conditions with no recourse and no freedom,” Cuccinelli said, according to the AP. “This is modern day slavery.”
Since 2016 the CBP has issued more than a dozen WROs to Chinese companies.

Forced labor is how communism works. Democrats aren’t going to like this.
Don’t care about the muslims, but anything to screw the chinese is fine with me.
The Rats like cheap labor. If they ever consolidate their power we will be put in Gulags. Think I’m being paranoid?
Roger that.
Or a lot of us will - don't get caught unprepared.
Some article! It doesn’t bother to name the companies frozen.
The new WROs direct CBP Officers at all ports of entry to withhold release on the following goods:
All products made with labor from the Lop County No. 4 Vocational Skills Education and Training Center in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. Information reasonably indicates that this “re-education” internment camp, which is often called a Vocational Skills Education and Training Center, is providing prison labor to nearby manufacturing entities in Xinjiang. CBP identified forced labor indicators including highly coercive/unfree recruitment, work and life under duress, and restriction of movement.
Hair products made in the Lop County Hair Product Industrial Park in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. Information reasonably indicates this site is manufacturing products with forced labor of the Uyghur people and other minority ethnic groups who are detained in “re-education” internment camps in Xinjiang. CBP identified forced labor indicators including highly coercive/unfree recruitment, work and life under duress, and restriction of movement.
Apparel produced by Yili Zhuowan Garment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Baoding LYSZD Trade and Business Co., Ltd in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. Information reasonably indicates that these entities use prison and forced labor in apparel production. CBP identified forced labor indicators including the restriction of movement, isolation, intimidation and threats, withholding of wages, and abusive working and living conditions.
Cotton produced and processed by Xinjiang Junggar Cotton and Linen Co., Ltd. in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. Information reasonably indicates that this entity and its subsidiaries use prison labor in their raw cotton processing operations in Xinjiang. Cotton-processing factories and cotton farms in this region are prison enterprises that use convict labor.
Computer parts made by Hefei Bitland Information Technology Co., Ltd. in Anhui, China. Information reasonably indicates that Hefei Bitland uses both prison and forced labor to produce electronics. CBP identified forced labor indicators including abuse of vulnerability, restriction of movement, isolation, and intimidation and threats.
Meanwhile, all the Muslim countries continue to do business with the Chicoms, as usual.
The Islamist care NOTHING about the Uighurs.
It’s always the western, predominant Christian countries that care about the plight of enslaved mooslimbs, who would just as easily cut off your head for drawing a cartoon.
Good
Thanks for the info. I note that Anhui province is also named.
The Marxists and Muslims have an arrangement where they see each other as allies in the fight against Capitalism, but both think they can dominate the other once that is done.
The Marxists look at these re-education slave labor camps as a model, the Muslims look at the Middle East as a model.
“The Marxists and Muslims have an arrangement where they see each other as allies in the fight against Capitalism, but both think they can dominate the other once that is done.”
Sources Please.
Sources please?
Give me a break. Marxists and Middle Eastern Muslims have cooperated with each other since before WWII.
