US Firms Are Profiting From Uyghur Forced Labor: Expert A parade of witnesses told the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) on March 10 that it’s all but impossible for U.S. firms to buy goods or services from China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region that aren’t produced with forced labor. That’s because Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities have imposed such a pervasive system of repressive political, economic, social, and religious policies on the mostly Muslim population in the region of northwest China. “It is a practical impossibility for a U.S. corporation to source from the Uyghur region without using forced labor, which means that every corporation that has chosen to stay in the Uyghur region is complicit in the crime of forced labor,” Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC), told the USCIRF during a March 10 hearing.
