    They’re specifically using forced labor from Uyghurs for solar manufacturing. It’s a problem, and one that’s complicating the ability of China to export solar panels.

      There’s no actual evidence for this claim. If you want to see actual forced labour then look at US prison system. US has the highest incarceration rate in the world and prisoners are used as literal slave labour. Meanwhile, the smear by US regime is also having very little actual impact on China’s ability to export solar panels.

        If it’s not real, China can open up the region to outsiders, and let workers communicate freely without monitors present or spyware on their phones.

          China has opened up the region to outsiders plenty of people have visited it including western news agencies. Here’s one example. You’re just regurgitating propaganda your regime is feeding you, there is no evidence for it. Meanwhile, we have lots of concrete evidence for precisely the sorts of atrocities US accuses China of happening in US. Maybe focus on what’s happening in your own country.

            Lol.

            And it’s seen in the fear that was ever-present, just below the surface, on two rare trips to Xinjiang I made for The Associated Press, one on a state-guided tour for the foreign press.

            A bike seller’s eyes widened in alarm when he learned I was a foreigner. He picked up his phone and began dialing the police.
