Canada pledged to ban forced labor products

The Canadian Minister of Labor has pledged that the Canadian government will pass legislation next year to ban forced labor products in the Canadian supply chain.

According to Global News Canada on June 13, in an interview with the Canadian Press, Uyghur Human Rights activists explained the importance of the law promised by the Canadian Ministry of Labor, citing as an example that the law should already be enacted, because China continues to sell products produced in East Turkestan by forced labor as slaves in Canada.

Canada has become a "wandering market" for China

Mohammad tokhti, executive director of the Uyghur Human Rights Project, stated in an interview with a reporter that Canada has become a "flea market," where China will sell products that were produced by forcing Uyghurs into forced labor as slaves.

Tokhti confirmed that one of the companies accused of forced labor in East Turkestan is the Chinese online retailer Xin, one of the largest trading platforms in the world. Tokhti said that the company targets young people with cheap products, and makes billions of dollars in profits by selling forced labor products. He added that it is important to enact the promised law as soon as possible so that Canadian consumers do not wear clothes contaminated with Uyghur blood.

As Mohammad tokhti, who also conveyed the features of forced labor products to journalists, said: "almost all products sold by Chinese companies on world markets are obtained through forced labor of Uyghurs. Therefore, their prices are much cheaper than goods of the same type".

China's practice of forced labor policy

It turned out that hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs were forced into forced labor in factories in the region, and some enterprises in East Turkestan have been the target of accusations that production is carried out through "forced labor".

In December 2021, the US Congress adopted the law prohibiting the import of goods produced by forced labor of Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious groups living in East Turkestan to the United States. The Washington administration had decided to impose sanctions on the companies that were the subject of the allegations and the companies that dealt with them.

Spokesmen for the Beijing Administration called the allegations of forced labor "lies fabricated by anti-Chinese forces", and tried to deny, claiming that they are far from the human rights situation in the country.

However, according to the report of the Australian Strategic Research Institute (ASPI), Uyghur Muslims are used as slave laborers for the supply of goods to more than 100 countries and 83 famous brands.
