US companies enslave people in 2021 while we dwell on 157 years ago

In March of last year, then-Secretary of State Michael Pompeo warned of U.S. companies so in bed with China that they look the other way as China makes their goods with slave labor.

Slavery was terrible in the U.S. 157 years ago, and it’s terrible in 2021. It continues with our soulless companies. The media seems uninterested. There was a time that was not the case. They nearly destroyed Kathy Gifford’s career because she unknowingly invested in a company that used slave labor.

We now have minority Muslims used as slave labor to make U.S. goods cheaply. Chinese scholars say most products will soon be made by slaves.

We must ask our worthless politicians to condemn this. Don’t buy goods from these companies.

Goods Suspected of Being Made or Processed with Forced Labor

The Commission has observed credible reports indicating that the following products are made at least in part using forced labor associated with the XUAR:

  • Textiles, such as yarn, clothing, gloves, bedding, and carpet
    Cotton
    Electronics, including cell phones and computer hardware
  • Food products, including noodles and cakes
  • Shoes
  • in part on low-skilled, labor-intensive manufacturing, could contain elements of involuntary ethnic minority labor from Xinjiang.
Companies Suspected of Using Forced Labor

The following companies are suspected of directly employing forced labor or sourcing from suppliers that are suspected of using forced labor:

  • Adidas

  • Calvin Klein

Using slave labor is slavery. It’s not indirect. It’s direct slavery.

Scholar Adrian Zenz warned that “Soon, many or most products made in China that rely at least in part on low-skilled, labor-intensive manufacturing, could contain elements of involuntary ethnic minority labor from Xinjiang.”
